Is Patience for Bad Cops Wearing Thin?

A former Pine Lawn [Missouri] police lieutenant described by prosecutors as a “loose cannon” and a judge as a “disgrace” was sentenced Thursday to 51 months in federal prison.

U.S. District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Jr. said the evidence was overwhelming that Steven Blakeney, 36, had “trumped up” evidence and engaged two store owners in conspiring to falsely arrest and jail a Pine Lawn mayoral candidate, Nakisha Ford, on behalf of her rival on Easter night in 2013.
4-1/2 years in the Federal pen, even in a "Club Fed", isn't beanbag.
