Officer Jeffrey Bishop Gets 4 Years for Selling Fentanyl to Children at School While On Duty

Four years?!?

 

21 Jump Street (the cops bust dealers at school) vs Reality (the cops are the dealers at school)

 

Right? Throw away the key.

 

Maybe prayer works and God is a cop?

 

That’s rediculous.

He should be in for at least 10-15. Then on probation for 10 once he gets out.

 

Blue lives matter apparently more than kids

 

Sentence seems light given the charges.

 

What a crock. Any law inforcement officials who break the law should get double what the norm is. The very ones we should be able to trust—-

 

It says it was a “plea bargain”, but even with that in mind it seems like a joke of a deal for 14 felonies.

Not even sure what the argument would be on the side of prosecutors to offer such leniency. Yeah, it’s hard to convict cops for “excessive use of force” cases because there might always be one “bAcK the bLuE” dumbass on any jury. Shouldn’t have to worry about that phenomenon in a crazy corruption case? But maybe I’m wrong.

 

Let's see:
Distributing Fentanyl
Distributing Fentanyl to minors on school grounds.
Distributing Fentanyl to female students.
(Has this cop been investigated for sexual improprieties?).
Distributing Fentanyl as an acting police officer.

4 years?

Fix is in.

 

Someone link the police immunity thread here.

 

It being a plea bargain makes it worse, imo. It wreaks of him getting offered a sweetheart deal by the prosecutor because he was in the law enforcement club.

 

The paranoid part of my brain is thinking this was buying his silence for people higher up the chain who knew what was going on and/or were in on dealing. I mean he was doing it out of his patrol car, not exactly low key.

 

Being in The Club is certainly a possibility, but also maybe that getting a conviction is next to impossible via judge or jury, so take what you can get.

“I seriously don’t think you’ll be back in front of the court [ever again],” Mullen told Bishop. “I’m not worried about that.”

That was the judge.

Despite this guy having a history of criminality going back to 2006 and spanning elections, multiple LEO jobs/firings, drugs, stolen guns, and minors, this judge isn't the least bit worried about any future issues.

 

I would have zero issue with putting this guy in GenPop in a max. Wouldn’t last a week. Good riddance

 

Oof. On the surface, this seems very light. For those charges, he should have gone away for a lot longer.

 

I know cops are hard to convict (particularly when self-defense can be argued), but I think dealing drugs to children at school is not a tough case for a prosecutor. If that was their motivation, fear of a jury, then they are pretty stupid IMO.

 

But even per the story, they were in actuality for mommy, not "dealing drugs to children at school." And he had the prosecutor running that cover for him.

The drugs were intended for the girl’s mother, with whom Bishop sometimes traded drugs for sex, according to Assistant Attorney General Jeff Baroody. On some occasions, Bishop had sex with the girl’s mother in his cruiser while he was on duty with the Calais Police Department, police have said.

Again, wouldn't be the least to bit surprising to find out they are in the same foursomes at the local country club every weekend, but the only entity we are missing so far in finding a way to diminish all the charges is the jury, which does not exist. Everyone involved is in agreement that this is no big deal.

IMO, I might actually buy the MILF drugs idea (although personally I'd run him ragged on technical aspects of drugs at HS anyway), but how about all the stolen guns? Clearly he took those from the local PD over the last four years. 15 of them. I have to imagine that there is a lot more to that part of the story also. Why is he stealing them? And was it only 15? I bet there are a lot more than 15 gone, and now they are out in the world doing "work" after he sold them.

 

Wonder if there was a problem with witnesses or evidence
Definitely a pos
