"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

It says in one of the links that det. Biumi was charged with pulling a gun on two high schoolers as well. Amazing that he got off so easy for three instances of armed assault ( that we know of).
Not amazing at all, Ken. One might as well define the ruling class (along with their minions) as the people for whom the law does not apply.
