Now this man called Police to his Pt Chevalier property and challenged them to shoot him, subsequently they did and he has now survived a bullet wound to the chest. Provoking the Police in to doing such a thing is not smart he is damn lucky to be alive and 400 hours of community service is light. The judge said there was no point in sentencing him to prison when he had given so much to the community which makes me wonder what a non actor would have to contribute towards the community to also be given such a light sentence. What would be its measure towards impact on the community? Are there two standards in this country’s sentencing laws between Actors and non Actors? Suicide by cop is a common obstacle overseas for Police lets hope we don’t see a new trend starting here.
