How about the police officer receiving the same treatment in the justice system as anybody else? In a perfect U.S.A., shouldn't that be the way it works?
An alleged criminal should be judged based upon the alleged crime(s)committed, not the criminal's (or victim's) position in society.
I've always had a problem with 'justice officials' receiving better (or worse) 'JUSTICE' merely because they are 'justice officials'. For example, laws that add additional penalties for harming a police officer. Shouldn't the penalty for harming a homeless person, the President, a district attorney, or a police officer, all be the same?

Randy and I have known each other all our lives. Our fathers grew up together just outside of your sleepy logging town..Randy is a good man. He served proudly in the navy, and was proud to serve you. Cops good, bad, whatever deserve better then fair treatment. Please just think out of all the times (countless) Randy protected his home town of Coquille.

Money is the root of all evil and very tempting. Yes, it is wrong to use it for your own personal use when it belongs to some one else. People steal all the time from employers.Get Real look at our public officals who represent us in Washington corrupt. It is wrong.
First place cash should have been place in a account instill of the evidence room.
We need to PRAY for Randy he has ruin his life as a police officer and probably will have to serve jail time.

Since coos/curry courts are in the same jurisdiction/mgmt, and judges often go back and forth, there's really no difference between the two.

The ex-officer is being treated as you would be if you were someone that had a lot of contact with a certain judge. And there are no "higher" judges that would punish him more. And by the way, since the average person who gets convicted of a crime does not lost their job, he will be punished more than you would be.

If you read the whole store is says he will be infront of a curry county judge not a coos county judge. you might want to read the whole story before you make a commit. I know the person and he is a good man. just had some bad judgement. we are not all perfect. we are all human and we all make mistakes at least he confessed instead denying it.

we all know what the outcome of this is going to be. Hes a cop, the courts are basically going to say dont do it again and let him go

How can this officer appear in front of a Coos County Judge. I believe this to be a conflict of interest. Him being an ex police officer he should go to higher Judge. One who is not going to look at him as a cop and give him a slap on the hand. They should be treated as we are.
