Not to mention many apparently genuine examples of police malpractice.
It's an unenviable job, trying to keep order among the sub-human drunks that plague our cities, but then representing 'the law' is a big responsibility.

The custodial sentences do seem unnecessary.
Probably more appeasement and PR than serving any practical purpose.
