INDIANAPOLIS – Angry reaction from community leaders continue to pour in after a controversial punishment was handed down to the man who was convicted of killing Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer Breann Leath.

Dorsey was sentenced on Thursday to 25 years in prison after he was found guilty but mentally ill on the following charges:

One count of reckless homicide Three counts of criminal recklessness committed with a deadly weapon One count of attempted murder One count of criminal confinement Dorsey was not convicted of murder by the jury. That charge was reduced to the lesser reckless homicide charge.

...

Snyder, who is the president of the Indianapolis FOP, said during a Friday afternoon news conference that residents of Indianapolis, as well as Indiana residents and those throughout the country, saw a “miscarriage of justice” through Stoner’s sentencing.

In response, Snyder said the maximum sentence of 63 years should have been implemented for Dorsey in this case, which Snyder called an attempt of “cold blooded murder.”

...

“As mayor and as a father, I’m shocked and disappointed in the decision that was handed down yesterday,” said Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett.

... and its both hilarious and ridiculous. Canada's constitution and parlimentary system are treated as better internationally, partially because there's no right to bear arms enshrined in it, but they went at least as far as the US to wipe out their First Nations(Natives), and the differences are often attributable to inspiration taken from the Iroquois Confederacy(a native federation of allied tribes).

I prefer the option that learned from the peoples that were already here when we showed up. Please and Thankyou.
