Detroit judge who put teen in handcuffs during field trip is demoted to speeding tickets
A Detroit judge who was temporarily removed after ordering a teenager into jail clothes and handcuffs during a field trip is back on the bench.
To the great smelly cop car you go!> [Judge Kenneth] King got in trouble for singling out a 15-year-old girl for falling asleep and having what he considered to be a bad attitude while she was visiting his courtroom with other teens.
Should have fired him. He obviously does not know how to deal with people and just wants to control people. Fuck this guy.
Yeah, what makes them think I'd want a power tripper like that decide what's fair or not in my traffic dispute with the local cops?
Many court positions are elected seats. They are probably just expecting him not to run when his term is up or to be ousted.
We boutta get death penalty for a bunch of parking tickets
Maybe double or triple death in some cases.
Oh but that wasn't the only punishment, he also had to take some sort of behavior course for a whole week with full pay.
That's harsh considering he is a protected class.
Those judges protecting each other from consequences are no better than when corrupt policemen do it.What he's lost is reputational. He's been publicly humiliated in front of the entire community and every person who appears in front of him knows what a sack of shit he is before any proceedings begin. He will never move into a higher position and will languish in traffic court until he quits and takes on a lawyer position somewhere.
What he’s lost is reputational.
Oh no the poor soul, he lost reputation for behaving like an insane out of line asshole, using power beyond his position to utterly humiliate another person in front of her peers.
Notice what he did was actually a violent physical and mental assault, exposed for all her class to see.
That judge should be in prison for abuse and assault.He will never move into a higher position and will languish in traffic court
He will still be highly paid and have the prestige of being a judge. Very possibly in a few years, this will be considered time served, and he will be moved up again.
Oh you sweet summer child. I know of a certain orange despot that would gladly reward this behaviour.
