playing to stereotypes, Missouri State Trooper Anthony Piercy, this donut eater from Missouri handcuffed a drunk college guy in an boat on a lake, then sped across the lake at speeds between 40 and 50 mph, allowing the turbulent waves catch the boat off balance and toss the drunk handcuffed guy into the water, causing him to drown. Another police misconduct and murder of an unarmed citizen event.
Also typical, the pos in uniform (Missouri State Highway Patrol officer) gets a wrist slap sentence (misdemeanor boating violation, negligent operation of a vessel, avoiding a trial for involuntary manslaughter.) 10 days in jail, in 2 sets of 5 days.
Why? Because the the prosecutor who declined to file manslaughter charges against Piercy, had received a personal favor from the MHP three years earlier when the department declined to charge her then-18-year-old son with DUI.
Late last year, the family won a lawsuit over records. A judge in that case ruled that the patrol knowingly and purposely violated the Sunshine Law by not handing over some information or delaying the release of other documents.
