Did anyone even pay attention? This is a Fed court doing this, not Cook County.
Is there a pending state case as well or not? because if not then it doesn't matter. Soft on crime is soft on crime no matter if its federal or state.
@@ropeysubstance1719 did you watch the video???
@@SHARON.I Yes i did. all i saw was a soft on crime judge give a soft sentence to a criminal felon.
Must gave not paid attention because THERE IS A PENDING TRIAL. Geezus that's what you asked in your comment and since you say you watched the video you must have not paid attention
You are right!
The real slap in this face is the fact CPD has the ability to track down a gun but chooses not to in the other 700 murders that don’t involve police officers.
who cares. just pay your taxes and live your life
@@Acf647 why are you leaving a reply to my comment? Just pay your taxes and live you life.
@@griffinbars idk 🤷🏽♂️
Exactly fuck cpd
@@6300As damn! Why does it
Got to be personal
I get so tired of hearing criminals using their child hood as an excuse for their crimes. It would take a book to write down my terrible childhood but I don’t commit crimes because of it
The Federal Judge declined the maximum sentence. What a surprise. He’s not the only Federal Judge that is light on gun straw purchasers, even when the weapon is used in murder, or violent felonies.
The judge said " . . . revenge can't be what the sentencing is based on" But evidently misplaced sympathy is.
You have to be nuts to be a cop in Chicago at this point. Nonstop violence and danger and a large population that will side with the criminals over the police. RIP Ella.
3:00am Chicago 😢
@@Fat12219 2 1/2 years in prison for straw purchaser was just about same amount years Chicago former Officer Jason Van Dyke got for murder.
OMG so the judge reasoned he bought the gun because he was abused as a child and didn't want to lose his friend? Good grief.
Rest in peace ella French.The world still misses you.I never knew you.I live in Texas but I still feel pain over your passing
Nah, her and Dinkheller deserve it. Ella French and all police officers deserve to be treated as enemy combatants and occupiers in a war against every citizen, the illegal and immoral war on drugs. It is solely responsible for the fatal OD epidemic driven entirely by the proliferation of fentanyl in recreational drugs. Through their continued enforcement of drug prohibition, despite having total discretion not to, police, prosecutors, and judges are responsible for every fatal OD. All drugs should be legal for adult recreational consumption and sold through regulated licensed dispensaries, without cuts or variation in potency. This would eliminate the OD epidemic overnight, as well as positively impact crime rates through drastically lower prices causing addicts to resort less to property crime, and stop gangs, cartels and terrorists from fundraising off of the sale of drugs. There is no valid reason for drug prohibition, alcohol causes more harm to users and society than any other recreational drug as evidenced by "Drug Harms in the UK: A multicriteria decision analysis" published in the medical journal The Lancet, and even it should not be banned as we learned before.
@@poiu477 your an awful person.stop contacting me.🖕
@@chrisbrooks7387 I'm a better person than any class traitor cop, police only serve and protect capital, not us citizens, just look at Uvalde.
@@poiu477 aye your mom told me to pick you up this afternoon and we gotta pick up some more OJ. But if I don't u can catch a live show of her in 12 different positions
@@poiu477 Hey mister I'm better than everybody come out and play.why so silent.your grandmother said you can not leave the attic
"Mitigating circumstances". If those excuses that this guy used applied to everyone, anyone who was "abused" as a youth would get away with anything. Scared to lose a friendship with someone who wants you to commit a crime? That's a joke, and a bad one at that.This sends a message to criminals there that it doesn't matter. Anxious to see what the two brothers get.
Well that same scenario can apply to you blue line lovers of cops killing innocent black people just because they claim they fear for their life and made a mistake and reacted harshly. And all they get is a slap on the wrist no jail time nothing. given the benefit of credit just because they're a effing police officer That's just a job not an authority of God.. That can just kill people with no accountability..
They usually only use it for white people this a new phenomenon here. They never cared about our mental health. But a white boy that went to Stanford on get probation because they said he was rich all his life .
lol you're a clown, he bought a gun for his friend, he didn't murder anyone. 5 years is absurd especially when cops get less for murdering people.
They better get life without parole but I doubt it. Probably just get 10 years.
@@MmaFan34 hope they get time served
"Sold the gun to maintain his friendship" There is a saying I used to tell my subordinate when I was in the Army "you know what right looks like and if you have to think about if you can get in trouble while doing something... then you probably shouldn't do it".
They were "intimate". the news just isn't saying it in this video.
Exactly! 💪
I’m sick of these “I was abused as a child” BS. You need to vote against judges that takes these things into consideration.
Doesn't feel so good when the shoe is on the other foot
Abuse as a child has ZERO to do with his actions. He knew his "friend" was going to use the gun for a crime.
There is no proof of that.
@@binka21 It's a reasonable inference since he knew of the guy's history and criminal activities and that's how you get to a conviction.
Maybe he thought for protection . Murder? I don't think he'd put his name on that
@@dp7047 I hear you and he's lucky he got what he got. Felony murder doesn't require intent to commit the murder, just intent to commit the felony via which the murder occurred. They may have needed his testimony for some reason though I would think this is a slam dunk case and usually a snitch has to wait until after their testimony to get sentenced. Unless this guy can testify that the defendants intended to use the gun for a crime(s) and not for "protection".
But this is really a bad move that tells the cops even their murders are not worth much. The decision not to prosecute for more was on the prosecutor's office.
How can you prove that bud. You're a stranger that knows absolutely nothing about them nor this case, outside of what was stated. Stop making blanket statements and pretending to be mad.
When it happens to one of us it's OK but when it happens to one of them it's an unjustice lmmao
Ain't no fun when the rabbit get the gun!!!!!
@Amir. S the truth hurts lmmao
When the rabbits got the gun, they cry.... she bought the gun under her constitutional rights.. if her brother took it, oh well... she shouldn't be part of the crime. SHE DIDN'T COMMIT
Yea look at these piglets SQUEAL!!! 🤣
Facts
This is why Chicago is the way it is. Brazen criminals continue to do this. I’m sure if the criminals had targeted someone else not a cop they would still be on the streets.
This is federal court
He ‘s from Indiana not Chicago
@@niftyonlineresaleplus7523 Indiana is just as corrupt as Chicago is to be honest. Because let's not forget that Chicago street gangs they run Indiana. They have a lot of territory out there from the major areas of Indiana all the way down to the suburbs. So Indiana is just as bad as Chicago.
Criminals are exacting revenge on Chicago police because they are abusive that’s part of why Chicago is the way it is. Additionally they do not serve and protect black and brown communities they only police it.
Wait until Jan..theyre supposed to have that purge
The people who don't get charged for their crimes or undercharged and or lenient sentences complain about lenient sentences.
To bad, so sad, love dad.
I remember when this happen . Smh they deserved to be held accountable
The shooters are being held accountable. The issue is that the cops want a life sentence for the guy who bought the gun and that’s unreasonable. Excessive to fair sentence by the judge.
One of the brothers only got 5 years
Looks like the system is becoming equal for everyone these days . Unions are going to be passed now.
Sadly CPD feels like they are a family and when one of them are injured the world must end. While they tell blood families to suck the deaf up and go cry in the corner. This happens daily to others. Maybe just maybe when the pain and mid justices are spread equally things will finally change for all not some.
Yeah and I’m sure they are just murdering innocent people all day long… cry me a frickin river chip on the shoulder. Most of the people that are shot and killed by cops are committing a felony you bone head. You have never faced true evil. Maybe become a cop or serve in the military, then you can run your mouth about “injustice”…. Start by reading FBI stats on police involved shootings. Are there bad cops, absolutely. There are also bad Dr’s. It’s a human issue, but it’s not nearly as proliferated as you would make it seem.
Lmao I bet you’re living a posh life.
That's the same sentiment that families feel when officers get no prison time and get to keep their jobs after killing unarmed children.
Good luck to you, sir. My sincerest hope is that you find your brain.
@@bmrz38 That person's comment is the truth. When police kill unarmed civilians nothing is done about. When a cop dies, now we should all care about police now.
Ella French was a brave police officer from the suburbs of Chicago. She was working in the worst part of Chicago filled with crime, gangs, violence, and drugs. She went to her job not knowing what each day would bring, but in hopes that she could make a difference. She dedicated her life to protecting citizens and holding criminals accountable. The person who took her life should get 25 years plus more. He shouldn’t see the light of day ever again after taking an innocent life and loving soul. ❤🙏🏼
In Flotida...as a Veteran Police Officer of 18+ years (career ended early due to thugs wanting to shoot at Officers at a crime scene - drive by) pursued thugs along with several other Agencies, they ended up side swiping my patrol vehicle whereas I rolled my car three times during the pursuit. It ended my career. The four suspects were caught , and sentenced...3 got 25 years, the driver received 15. Fricken 30 months for supplying a weapon to a known felon...fricken pissed off..and the two who caused Officer French's death and her partner to be injured are still waiting to go to court? Wtf! Like Sheriff' Judd says down in Florida....you try to kill one of my Deputies, we are going to "shoot you dead". Lightfoot and her policies and Federal system as well is so woke up their in Illinois. It's getting people killed. Oh didn't Lightfoot state Chicago is "safer", and at the time of her death, couldn't even remember Officer French's name? As I remember most of the Officers turned their backs on her when she gave a speech about the shooting. It's a disgrace and a slap in the face to all Officers of Chicago PD.
She encountered the single biggest actual threat most Americans are likely to face. A couple feral fellas
The 2 Brothers should get life...not this guy
@@davidjames7382 Florida isn't right either to be honest. Because let's not forget the Caribbean and Central American drug lords they control Florida. And how many times have the Florida Police Department tried to put them in prison and yet they're still out there in Florida ? Here's a fun fact. The Haitians and the Jamaicans and the Dominicans. They have no respect for law enforcement nor are they scared of law enforcement. And that also goes for the Cubans and the Colombians and the El salvadorians that run stuff out of Florida. Florida is a gangster's paradise just like Chicago and Indiana is. The only difference is Florida is much worse than Chicago and Indiana when it comes to narcotics. Because Florida sits right next to Cuba and the Caribbean. So Florida is going to continue to have a drug problem and a crime problem because it sits right next to Cuba and the Caribbean.
Wait. I hate ANY ONES that's get killed. But she signed up to be a police officer. You know what the job comes with. It's like when niggas die from gangbanging....you knew what it was.
So only criminals can buy guns and get the lightest sentence possible, law abiding citizens who do not commit a crime get the maximum sentence.
I had a friend with a felony try to guilt trip me into selling him 1 of my extra guns. Wouldn't talk to me for a while as a result. He got over it. Unfortunately, some people like this straw purchaser don't have the same self esteem & ability to say no. I guess he will have 30 months to reflect on who his true friends are and how he should have said no.
No one is worth getting a felony on your record and going to prison for. This idiot deserves the maximum sentence. But because of soft on crime judges, that will never happen. The whole thing just sickens me.
That judge has too much empathy for the criminals to sit on the bench. Shameful...
Please shut up!!!!
WHAT'S SHAMEFUL IS YOU PEOPLE THAT HAVE NO HEART FOR OTHERS!!! / ARE SO UNFORGIVING!!!
Sharon McGhee -who care's.you don't say that when these 🐖 out here killing my people so we feel nothing when it comes back to them or it can happen to you who gives a dam I surely don't!!!!!!!
And another thing ever time thay kill or harm my people y'all always asking black people do you forgive them .hell no I don't and I never will and I pray for the day The Most High gets rid of your kind!!!!!!!
You support trump and the Republican party, do you not see the Irony lol
Not JUST a felon. He also knew the those two were active violent criminals and nothing good was going to come from them having a gun.
Come on Chief, you don't have to respect that soft judge!
Hell i remember the billboards wasn't it supposed to be 10 years for buying a gun for a criminal. It should definitely be the max if said firearm was used to kill a cop. Sad.
I definitely believe he should've gotten a max sentence.
I agree with the judge…The killers are the ones who are supposed to get the death penalty of Life without parole !!
This is Horse 💩 he should have been given 10 years for the straw purchase of a firearm for a known felon! This federal judge needs to either step down or resign from his job,cause he’s not serving the public. It’s not like the police have enough problems to deal with . Just sickens me!
30 months, what a joke, there is no justice here!
Please -what about when the 🐖 kill black people thay get no time .more of them need to get it !!
30 months, for selling a gun , are you kidding?
Exactly, he should have never been charged.
What pull shit is cops can get the same amount of time of killing a innocent person and get 6 mouth with time serve
Getting tired of liberal leadership yet? Guess not...
The message has been sent. The courts, government ect does not support police
Omg! Ridiculous sentence. That's why things are getting out of control there's no consequences
its been out of control. where you been at lol
@@Acf647 😂
Nah, it's out of control because of crooked and dirty cops
@kennethcook3127 yea, and it absolutely has nothing to do with all the criminals getting off easy, huh?
He shouldn't get any more or less time, than anyone else would have. The cop being murdered is irrelevant, to what hes actually guilty of.
Yeah but when cops kill innocent civilians nothing happens to the cops and yet there going for the person who sold the gun that's lame
Imagine being black 🤣🤣🤣
Sickens me that police officer who killed attatiana Jefferson got almost 12 years and police officer amber guyger only got 10 years walking in a man’s house and killing him
When you see the disgusting excuse of a mother who raised these two criminal thugs it becomes clear why they are heartless, soulless dogs.
they need to be treated the same way the did to her
Cops do that already. Glad they get to feel how alot of regular people they do that to
@@kennethcook3127 no, they are not doing that already, which is where there is that problem.
If I was cpd I wouldn't risk my life or freedom serving these criminals I would go thru the motions and get my retirement not worth the risk when the mayor is even against you
A very appropriate sentencing, well done judge!
However, when cops kill 'innocent, unarmed' citizens, they usually get away with it with minimum sentencing if any.
Now they know how civilians feel when cops get lighter sentences for their roles in murders than any of us would.
"But I think that my brother is innocent," the words of a complete coward, Eric Morgan.
God bless the world 🌎!
I don't condone the killing, but the reality is that it's AMAZING to see those cops lined up begging for justice and to see videos of cops in Chicago like Sgt. Hunt, kicking, beating and illegally arresting people all of the time. These cops have got to realize that there are people in Chicago that flat out will call this "hypocrisy". All those cops that lied in their written statements about the shooting of Laquan McDonald and only one was charged??? You could replace those cops with Black families and the words could be the same, just that the people demanding justice would be Black.
That's bu!! $h!t. Thies judge's are getting soft.
Welcome to the second amendment
He violated the law pal, the slimy judge let him walk . Straw purchases has nothing to do with the 2nd amendment , legal gun owners do not buy guns for cretin criminals , criminals buy guns for criminals .
White people get away with everything a black man would have been charged with murder with whoever pulled the trigger because he bought the gun White privlage at is best
@@kelvinbailey7235 okay , tell that to all the white criminals in prison . Ask them what they got away with , Kelvin .
@@michaelligue3842 conservative gun control in a nut shell lol. You want everyone to have guns and you got your wish. Now deal with the consequences.
@@Dead1yCool Just the opposite , I want people who obey the law , have mental capacity and fortitude to be able to defend themselves and others to LEGALLY own and responsibly handle a gun . I want guns out of the hands of criminals . So no , I do not want everyone to have a gun .
The Judge did the right thing!
Aw poor piggy mad that they are facing the same injustice the people feel when we get shot by police.
30 months and he will be out in less than half of that.
Wake me up when cops speak out against their own for doing the same thing to innocent civilians.
Breanna Taylor, George Floyd, etc, etc, etc........ You may get the point. I doubt they ever will.
If they didn't get the gun from that guy they definitely would have gotten it somewhere else
This is ridiculous he needs more time justice was not served he can get out she doesn’t get a second chance ridiculous when he gets released I would sue his ass
What will it take? What If that same federal judge has a felony crime committed against one of own his own family members! Would that sentence still be 30 months, hell no! that judge would give the max sentence in that case!
That judge needs to get fired or step down!
Shit is about to get Ugllier in ALL of CHICAGO..Citizens of Chicago Do not Expect the CPD to protect you. I do not Blame Them for not being able to . We all know who is to Blame ..Be ready to protect yourselves and your loved ONES. All of the Merciless Savage Criminals know the Police is Understaffed and Resentful and are taking Full Advantage of this. Be BRAVE ,Be prepared,Stay Alert ,Be Safe .- AMOR -
Like cpd actually protected anyone in the past. Most crooked pigs in all of america
That's even sir the world isn't far.a cop just got 3 years for killing a black be women. The world not fair
I agree. He should've got the max.
Every time you purchase a firearm you sign a form saying you know it carries a maximum penalty of 10 years 😢
Are you crazy?
Poor , police officer 😢
The father said if this doesn’t change the sentencing procedures, officers are going to think twice. I agree, he got off like he had qualified immunity. It’s sad all the way around.
How far you wanna take this it’s already a waste of tax money might as well go back and charge the guy he bought the gun from and then also charge the store for selling that guy the gun then charge the manufacturer then charge the ppl at the factory that assembled the gun STUPID 😢
@@r.hughes5737 agreed. He didn't pull the trigger nor was he involved in the crime other than buying a gun the criminal could have purchased another way. He didn't know the guy was going to murder people with it.
Holy smokes 30 months got to be Democrap city joke. If Ella French’s was black he be get life American 🇺🇸 justice LEFT
So if I kill someone can I blame it on our friendship
An eye for an eye. How many times are criminal cops given a slap on the wrist during their sentencing.
Exactly. Now they know what it's like to lose people for no good reason.
Facts, I was gunna make this comment glad someone already did. Sucks when it’s the other way around aye.
Criminals need the trick. Nothing more out of pocket than a bit$h criminal. Always show maximum disrespect in private or public to a criminal with some buck. When a criminal bucks that is unacceptable. You have trick em out. Super necessary and profitable.
@@myohmy7368 wtf are you even saying homie lol
What did that lady do to deserve that? Did she deserve to be shot and killed or are you just stereotyping all cops like a good little hypocrite?
JUDGE IN ILLINOIS REJECTS MAXIMUM PENALTY? SICKENING.
That’s really sad. I always said the CPD will see these criminals get off with a slap on the wrist, and say I’m just going to make it to my retirement instead of protect and serve
Cops the biggest criminals on the planet they kill more people yearly than every street gang in this country combined. They no different than serial killers. Glad this young man got a break
Like the cops get off with a slap when they kill people
@@cesar5050 Exactly 🙄
Not if they’re found guilty.
@@cesar5050 annd when they beat the shit out of folks for NO REASON.....WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE BECAUSE OF VAN DYKE'S ACTIONS?!?! SHOT A 17 YEAR OLD KID, 16 TIMES!!!! MANY OF THOSE WAS WHILE HE WAS ON THE GROUND... WHAT DID HE GET...4 YEARS?!
THEY BE TRIPPING!!!!
BUT THIS KID THAT SHOT THESE COPS ARE GONNA GET THE REST OF HIS LIFE?!?
HOW THE FUQUE IS THAT FAIR!!!!!!????
maybe stop pulling people over WITHOUT A WARRANT............if she wasn't profiling young black she would still be alive
Oh judge horrible decision that's not justice
How is that even possible? Rest in peace Ella French. You are a hero and may you never be forgotten.
Same way it happens when they get off Scott free
Heroes don't prey apon their own community
She'll be forgotten in a year
You'll be surprised how lil respect coo deserve today. It's well deserved disrespect
@liquorhill3122 I hope you are a troll and not really this stupid. What is "apon" anyways?
That judge is a coward
GOD Bless The Thin Blue Line to all on Chicago Police Force and fallen injured officers!! Now it's time to throw Lightfoot out of office for she is a disgrace!!
Tell that thin yellow line to go arrest trump because that a big time criminal
Smells like bacon
Lol
Chicago judicial system is a mess
This is why some people put justice into their own hands. Because they can't trust the system
Who are you talking about? The brothers killed the cop as vengeance?
The dealer slides through clean as a whistle. Dealing death daily with zero responsibility.
Jesus what a joke criminal system is
Is somebody paying these judges......30 months....Wow
I'm starting to think these judges are paid off these judges need to be dealt with
Women should be at a desk not a police officer.
Only 2.5 years? Normally one could get as much as 10 years for a straw purchase.
What? 30 months?
It’s really sad when you see that somebody’s life has been cut short but the cops seem to conveniently forget the amount of lives that they cut short and yes, some of those needed to be but others didn’t
they always throw a huge pity party when one of their own dies they literally get a parade but when cops mess up and shoot a civilian half the time nothing happens
Thank you. When officers kill innocent civilians where is the outrage from other officers? There is none.
@socialpublisher123 wtf do you mean where is the outrage? I swear there is a new protest every other month. The media can't stop showing every and any incident they can because yall eat it up so much.
It’s cool when they do it it’s a problem when someone else returns the favor 🤨
I think the family should sue him civilly just to be a thorn in his side ,go for 3 million 🤔 😳 drag his azz to court again.
LOL what? You think this guy has 3 million dollars to pay anyone? 🤦♂ Will end up costing the family far more in legal fees than they will collect...and they won't be able to recover that either.
That’s fucked up. He should have been given the max
For what reason? He plead guilty
A year later now, and it has only gotten worse. Votes matter, if you like being alive.
Like vultures circling injured prey lol. Get over yourselves, he bought a gun for his friend, he didn't murder anyone. 5 years is absurd especially when cops get less for murdering people.
Ouch! That's too much truth.
This is why you don't become cops kids.
It’s horrible her death happened. I understand the father’s pain having a daughter myself but, I also understand why more time wasn’t giving either. I personally feel just like the gunman’s friend had a choice she also made a choice to be honorable and serve her community. Unfortunately these are the risk that come along with taking on the brave task of being a police officer. May she Rest In Peace.
Chicago! Enough said!
I kind of agree with the police officers but what piss me off is when they kill innocent people they get off easy
This sentence is completely unacceptable and a travesty of justice! This judge needs to be held accountable!
Shut up he probably gave someone 25 yrs for 10 grams of Crack so it evens out
Where’s beetle juice at ??????????
We should be able to throw out a judge at any time. Because judges everywhere are either just stupid or crooked
Get Rid of Democrat Judges...Biden's vision for America
@@paullake1114 Both parties are full of shit. How can you not see that by now? Democrat or Republican they only care about themselves
Lol. Throw out the crooked cops
Time for vigilante justice.....
You'll never be the father you could've been?? What?? Man aren't you still here living smh 🤦🏾♀️
Great day in justice for America
They should all walkoff the job
Get over it , cpd doesnt do their job
us law is a joke
What a great judge.Absolute right call. Vengeance is natural human attribute that’s encoded to us but have choice to move from and shouldn’t blind us, especially at highest positions of order in the country such as in federal courts.
