Every officer who stood by deserves that minimum, and Rodriguez deserves tripple that

Agree. They should have removed the kid from this guy’s physical control and taken over booking him. Standing by and letting/watching the officer do that should be criminal as well.

They were probably scared he’d turn on them. Not an excuse at all, this MF’er deserves more jail time than he received but even a badge does not a hero make.
