We're the Only Ones "Willfully Depriving" Enough

A police officer has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges for pulling over Hispanic drivers and stealing their money...The 33-year-old Hilsinger pleaded guilty to four charges of willfully depriving individuals of their right against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Misdemeanor? That's all an "Only One" gets for multiple counts of armed robbery? Even if he didn't pull a gun, he had one during the commission of a crime, and the implication was there that a police officer must be immediately obeyed or else...

And selecting Hispanics? Why aren't "hate crime" statutes being invoked...?
