Cop arrested, charge dropped to misdemeanor

[Prolo]

I don't so much mind him getting his retirement that he earned after 20 plus years on the job. I only am concerned that prosecutors (at least so far) have failed to prosecute this case the way it has been presented....If, indeed, it has been an ongoing crime (newspaper said he admitted to multiple thefts), then it's hardly a misdemeanor. Of course, it's not over with yet, but we see so many times in the newspaper where people charged with just one theft are handled with a lot more charges and the potential for a lot more punishment. He was a cop using his knowledge of security systems to his benefit, although obviously he didn't count on the outside cameras. He is still innocent until proven guilty (if you like to believe that myth), but just seems so far he's getting special treatment which doesn't go down very well in this community.
