He was charged with participating in a scheme to issue gun permits in exchange for San Jose Sharks hockey game tickets, access to a luxury suite at the SAP Center, and hundreds of Apple iPads. The bribes were given to [Sheriff Laurie] Smith and her guests, prosecutors said. Under conditions of his plea, Sung surrendered his California peace officer certification and agreed to complete 400 hours of community service.[More]
The greedy f_s were running a conspiracy that denied citizens who didn’t pony up for “may/and then again may not issue” extortion their rights and placing lives in jeopardy under color of authority — and no one has gone to jail, including briber/anti-gun Apple CEO Tim Smith, DA Jeff Rosen.
Don’t speak to us about your fearless prosecutions of fellow big club members. And don'[t speak to us about how “Rick Sung dedicated twenty years of his life to serving the people of Santa Clara County,” defense flack– he didn’t just wake up one morning and decide he could get away with in-your-face corruption. His “twenty years of [self] service” experience told him he could get away with it. That and it set the tone for everyone under him and Laurie.
And note just dropping it will prevent further probes into whether perennially virtue-signaling-on-race California Democrats discriminated on who gets approved for permits.
