a quote from the movie; blade runner. if you ain't cops, you're little people, like in this case;

Philadelphia, PA — Imagine for a moment, that your job is to prosecute those who dangerously drive drunk and cause harm to others. Now, imagine that you betrayed that job by dangerously driving drunk, crashing, and causing severe harm to others. Everyone would likely agree that such an egregious violation of one’s job description would lead to your immediate termination from said job. However, if you are Philadelphia Police Department Officer Gregory Campbell, that was not the case.

For several weeks after causing grave harm and even death, Campbell kept his job. He would eventually be fired but only after he was charged with DUI, aggravated assault, and criminal mischief. Now, more than a year after the incident which left two dogs dead and their owners permanently and severely injured, Campbell’s blue privilege has come full circle and he was given a measly 11-23 month sentence.

This short sentence was in spite of the fact that the victims testified Campbell’s recklessness “destroyed” their lives.

“I’m very unhappy with the sentence,” Anna Wakeman said after the hearing. “I was normal before this,” Wakeman, 54, said through tears, according to the Philly Inquirer, telling Shaffer she’s had 11 surgeries and now takes 30 pills per day for medical issues, including a traumatic brain injury she suffered as a result of Campbell’s actions that night.

“I saw it all, and that’s what destroyed me,” Raymond Wakeman said. “It ruined my life.”

In February of last year, Campbell — whose job consisted of pulling people over and arresting them for driving under the influence — was driving under the influence. During this drive, Campbell lost control of his vehicle while driving 75 mph, causing it to go airborne around 8:20 p.m.

Campbell’s car would then come to a stop when it crashed into the home occupied by the Wakeman’s, and their two dogs. Raymond was thrown against the wall breaking several bones as Anna was pinned under the car, unconscious, and severely injured.

A neighbor across the street heard the crash and came rushing out and began digging through the rubble to help the woman pinned under the car......more..........
