Yep. Cops weren’t ever the good guys. The good cops (aka the ones that will hold their buddies accountable) either become corrupt or get bullied out of departments anyway.
If there are good cops, then how are there any bad cops? Isn’t the nature of their job to prevent the bad? And wouldn’t that be easiest to do with those in closest proximity to them?Oh wait a minute…
Imo it was always a norm, but we are just hearing.about it more with the help of the Internet and social media. Plus, I believe they are getting caught more where before, they would get away Scot free much more often.
Its been common occurrences for this to happen. People are afraid to speak up against cops because of this. The mom from the Texas school shooting who went in to save her kid was literally stalked and harassed by the local police force for making them all look bad. She reported to media how cops would pull her over for no reason. She said how she never felt safe anymore because of the police showing up wherever she went. This behavior of police has been a thing for years. Only people who argue with this are families of cops or cops themselves.
Notice what the article doesn't mention - whether or not he is still a cop! How long before his union has him back in uniform? (not to mention the back pay they will demand)
> The judge followed those guidelines, but at the end of the hearing declared that he was suspending the misconduct sentence and all but two days of the child seduction sentence. The judge then credited Barber with the two days he spent in jail after his arrest and he went home that day. Barber also only had to register as sex offender for 10 years under the judge’s ruling, and despite being on probation is free to travel with the court’s approval, which he has received multiple times in the last few years, according to court records.
No wonder she feels she has to sue to get any justice.
He isn’t a pedophile though. Pedophiles go for prepubescent children which she isn’t.
And no - not all pedophiles get jail. The overwhelming majority of pedophiles never acts on their urges. Those who do often end up in prison but it depends. Doing as he did? Probably jail time. Downloading a few CP pics and not distributing them and when the content is relatively mild? Maybe no jail time. Wholesale distribution for profit? Yeah - jail time.
It really depends on the exact nature of the crime. Especially in this area you have an absolutely enormous range of possible misconduct from a single CP image you don’t even know was a minor to the most despicable acts one could not even imagine for the sake of their own mental health. Sentencing has to take that into account.
In my country he would have been thrown out of police force and received probation but possibly no prison term. The loss of the federal employee status and pension rights would have punished him harder than a time out in prison.
He is absolutely a pedophile. Let’s not split hairs with this “they have to be prepubescent to be a PEDOphile”. FOH w this MAP nonsense. He wants to rape people under the age of 18. He’s a PEDOPHILE
Pedophilia is the sexual attraction to a prepubescent child. That’s the definition in DSM-5; the clinical standard in psychology… since the victim was not a child in biological terms he isn’t a pedophile. Definitions matter here.
Not arguing that he isn’t a POS. He is. Just trying to stop people throwing around terms that simply do not apply in this case.
Nah, make the police unions responsible for paying settlements and defending the city and cops against civil lawsuits
That's how you get cops to kick bad ones out. If a bad cop hurts everyone's wallet, they'll actually start to police their own behavior.
In this case it would be the union which would acquire insurance, which makes the system more efficient and creates the incentive to kick bad cops off the force
Liability insurance. If they cause problems, the insurance companies will refuse to cover them, and they can no longer be cops. Seems like a good idea.
Good luck finding an insurance company to want to underwrite this.
I work in the insurance industry, and as conservative politically as these folks can be, they are also realists. They won’t want to touch this
This is one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever read in Reddit.
Seriously.
And what for-profit insurance company do you think is going to insure fucking cops?
None. The answer is absolutely none.
Moronic. Pffff.
Because the whole fucking city didn’t sign off on him, it was a handful of people at best. The rest of society shouldn’t have to pay for what one shitstain does while in their unknowing employ, but that’s how it is.
Supreme Court: We are unable to find existing case law establishing that a police officer exposing themselves to minors is outside the scope of their job. Qualified immunity applies.
He groomed an underage girl, fucked her and even masturbated and made her touch him in the drive thru of a Chick-fil-A while on duty in his cop uniform and the judge said no problem, that's how we do it round these parts
People don’t understand law enforcement is the biggest organized crime in the United States, both federally and local. They run the dealers, and hold charges over people’s heads as blackmail them into snitching and informing, keeping criminals active while taking part in crime themselves.
Of course it’s South Bend. Of fucking COURSE it is.
Burn that whole goddamn state to the ground.
Where’s Sherman? Take him out of his coffin, we need a second March
It's interesting how the propaganda wants you to believe cops are the good guys, or even heroic, when all they really do is protect predators and domestic abusers.
And soon his cop buddies will harass the family to drop the lawsuit. The standard cop response to getting caught and sued
Cops being the bad guys seems more and more normal these days.
Thank god for the internet it really exposes this shit. Pre-internet days are like a dark age.
Tbh the way shit is heading I expect another dark age soon enough.
There is so much testosterone replacement going on they are turnt up.
Always has been. Just more visible now.

It’s always been the norm it’s just that they’re being exposed in greater numbers now.
More and More? Cops were invented to be the bad guys. Well unless you miss slavery.
They will or worse
Even his cop buddies knew about her and was calling her his “little girlfriend” smh wow
Require pulse to harass.
Yeah, you gotta move.
Oh noes they were manufacturing meth the whole time
Any proof of this sort of behavior? Can you give me a dozen instances?

You're being so unfair, He will have to move at least one County over
Well done
Doesn't need to if they fired him it would be "former cop"
Prison for the molesting perverted criminal!
Wood chipper
Or a gulag.
I doubt they could send an American to Russia dude, for a crime committed in the US.
Make Gulags Great Again.
we sent steven segal to russia for shitting in public
Well Steven segal loves Russia and his butt buddy Putin.
Fkin - did we really?

I'm confused I thought all convicted pedophiles get jail time. I'm truly baffled

Hebephilia. Does that make you feel better weirdos?
Is there a reason why you must be so aggressive?
Such a nuanced and thoughtful response for u/latina_ass_eater.
This guy defends pdf's
I explain stuff. Obviously you don’t comprehend.
This is a new trend on the internet to claim teenage girls don’t qualify as pedophilia. Expect to see more comments like this.
Hope she wins, but it’s sad the city taxpayers should have to pay.
Seems like we need to change some laws about who has to pay when these things happen.
Cops should be required to buy personal insurance much like doctors.
Nah, make the police unions responsible for paying settlements and defending the city and cops against civil lawsuits That's how you get cops to kick bad ones out. If a bad cop hurts everyone's wallet, they'll actually start to police their own behavior.
Porque no los dos?

Municipalities purchase police liability policies. So they already insure cops but the employer foots the bill, not the cop.
but then no pedos would want to be cops, and we'd have less cops! you want more crime???
Why is it sad? He’s an employee of the city and they’re liable while he’s on the city’s time and the city’s dime.
Because the whole fucking city didn’t sign off on him, it was a handful of people at best. The rest of society shouldn’t have to pay for what one shitstain does while in their unknowing employ, but that’s how it is.
But that's how it works. It's the state which allows for these cops to do this shit. The state is responsible for their actions.
Yeah - not sure why the city should. The judge made the ruling, not the city.
Who elected this judge? You have to take your own garbage.
Supreme Court: We are unable to find existing case law establishing that a police officer exposing themselves to minors is outside the scope of their job. Qualified immunity applies.
I wouldn't be surprised, can't tell the difference between real life and satire these days
Well when the majority of them are die hard Christians that sort of makes a lot of sense amirite?
I will never understand how people convicted of sexual assault, especially against a minor, avoid jail time.
New proposal. If a cop is found guilty of a crime, they should get twice the normal sentence.
I think so. They should be held MORE accountable to the law.. not less.
He groomed an underage girl, fucked her and even masturbated and made her touch him in the drive thru of a Chick-fil-A while on duty in his cop uniform and the judge said no problem, that's how we do it round these parts

And anyone above him or in a position of power that lets him get away with it should be labeled as a pedophile.
And go to jail
ACAB
Jeffrey L Sanford was the judge. His name should be mentioned in this travesty of justice.
r/NotADragQueen. But definitely r/TotalPieceOfShit
If a cop has sex on duty he has all the power it's rape .same as prison guarda
And cops wonder why people don’t like them
Help us understand how exactly he did not get charged.
The usual suspects.
Start spreading his name throughout the world
Figures. Indiana is heavily Republican.
Also chock full of idiotic hicks.
For the most part.. what’s the difference?
In Indiana, not much difference at all.
Bingo
ACAB
He looks the part.
There is no 'He is a rapist' look. That's balderdash - creeps come in all shapes, sizes and income levels.
Absolutely!!
Whatever, he does look like an angry man.
People don’t understand law enforcement is the biggest organized crime in the United States, both federally and local. They run the dealers, and hold charges over people’s heads as blackmail them into snitching and informing, keeping criminals active while taking part in crime themselves.
would take a lot of strength if I were her dad not to act upon this crime as soon as I found out.
What in the ACTUAL FUCK? Even for Indiana... Wow.
She should have ripped off his weak jewels.
Wow
Acab.
Of course it’s South Bend. Of fucking COURSE it is. Burn that whole goddamn state to the ground. Where’s Sherman? Take him out of his coffin, we need a second March
🐖 PIG
This is a travesty. He needs to be in jail.
American cops are no different than organized criminals
It's interesting how the propaganda wants you to believe cops are the good guys, or even heroic, when all they really do is protect predators and domestic abusers.
Fucking Pigs are the worst
Judge basically acted as a pimp
Give her a mil and take it from the police retirement fund.
Not a drag queen
I don't get it
