Yep, an upstanding officer...

I know a number of current and former members of law enforcement.  I know that there are a large amount of good people in that profession.  So it really sucks when I see crap like this guy:

Ex-cop gets prison in shooting plot
XENIA, Ohio (WDTN) - A former Miamisburg police officer will spend some time in prison for convincing his lover to shoot her husband.  The victim says his wife used photographs of him as target practice while Mark Roysdon taught her how to shoot a gun.
What really disappoints me is that this waste of oxygen got only 18 months, likely out in 9.  While his career is ruined, and he will likely loose most of his possessions, he got off light.  In less than two years he can begin to rebuild his life, likely in a different area where they do not know of his real background.

Meanwhile, the victim has to deal with a shattered marriage and the violent ending to it.  He will likely have personal issues to deal with for decades. 

The word "Justice" in the phrase "Criminal Justice" seems a bit misleading sometimes...
