  1. police always get special treatment, they are above the law… and of course the cop at the end of every video says nothing about the lax sentencing. gross

  2. Interesting details from the sentencing:

    St. Louis County Circuit Judge Ellen Ribaudo sentenced McCulloch to a 25-year suspended sentence with a five-year supervised probationary period, meaning he won’t serve any prison time unless he violates his probation.

    Ribaudo said she understands the decision isn’t what victims wanted to hear on Thursday.

    “I can’t imagine what you all have been through,” Ribaudo said. “I can’t put myself in your shoes. Unfortunately for me, violence is an everyday occurrence. … I see it every day in various communities. If I send him to prison, how long would he be there? The parole board would decide that. If I put him on probation for a minimum of five years, I would be in control.”

    Ribaudo said she ultimately made her decision based on the limitations of the justice system and the need to ensure McCulloch maintains sound mental health.

    Shah said that although he wishes the sentence was different, he believes the judge heard them.

    “I felt that she was trying to do what she thought was best, but I can't help but still hope that there could have been a different outcome,” Shah said after the hearing.

    Ribaudo placed several conditions on McCulloch’s probation, including having no contact with any of the victims, maintaining distance from the city of Kirkwood, maintaining therapy treatment and more. He will also have to provide some compensation to the victims and cover all court costs.

    McCulloch will not be eligible for early release from probation.

  3. 🙄 this wasn’t about cops “bottling things up” as you love to repeat like a parrot. this was some bipolar dude who got to be a cop because the system is corrupt and only gave af about his family ties and didn’t give af about anything else he had going on. shameful. imagine everything this dude’s done behind the badge. and it took something this extreme to focus on on?? wtf smh.

  4. He absolutely should have been jailed and received professional psychiatric and psychological help there. That is insane.

    I am all about supporting the blue line, but not when someone in blue is actually playing dress up.

    The fact he was even accepted into the job is because of his family ties. Corruption at its best

  5. Policing 101
    Every witness statement after white sweater at 9:27 is useless because you allowed them all to listen to his recounting of events. They will subconsciously implant his details into the gaps they have in their own story. You need to separate them immediately to get an accurate retelling of events to the best of their ability.

  6. It would be a great prank if about a week later the department decided to roll up to the guy who picked up the shell’s house and come rushing in super aggro yelling “WE GOT YOUR PRINTS ASSHOLE! You were involved in a shooting at a school event! your prints all over the shells! you are going away for a LONGGGG time. Witnesses lie but prints don’t….”

  7. To be fair this genuinely does seem like some kind of manic episode. The guy probably does need help. Something that’s not “lock him up for the rest of his life.” Have people speak on his character, what kind of guy was he before that happened.

  8. It was obviously a mental health crisis. Nobody was actually injured, thankfully. Closely supervised psychiatric treatment and meeting all his terms of probation is going to have the best long run outcome in this case. The facts that he was at the time a police officer, and his uncle is a prosecutor, it's worth considering as a probable threat to his safety within a prison. These safety concerns could be dealt with if needed. I think the bigger issue was his obvious mental health crisis and a lack of mental capacity during the episode.

  9. Fuk the shooter's safety! The obviously biased judge should be MUCH more concerned with the public's safety.
    There's is no way anyone could make the case that this violent prick would be better supervised on freaking probation compared to the level of supervision he'd receive in jail where he belongs.
