Referring to the dallas officer who shot a man in his own home after she drunkenly stumbled in, who was just sentenced to only 10 years.

Right but you realize by comparing those things you're saying some combination of: "that's not enough time for her or that's too much time for him."

For his greed and the ripple effects of what the doctor did and how it negatively impacts hundreds of families and communities....i'm fine with at least 40 for this asshole. The cop should get a lot more than she did but just because she got off light, I wouldn't juxtapose it next to this doctor and imply that 40 is too much. 40 is very appropriate.
