    But... But... But he is one of the good guys

    The four rotten SOBs should have gotten the combined max total of years their victims could have received instead of three and one each.

    A former Florida police chief has been sentenced to three years in prison for instructing officers to frame innocent black men for burglaries.

    At a hearing Tuesday, ex-Biscayne Park chief Raimundo Atesiano claimed that he felt pressured to boost crime statistics in the small village of about 3,000 residents.

    'When I took the job, I was not prepared,' the 53-year-old told US District Judge K Michael Moore in Miami federal court. 'I made some very, very bad decisions.'

    Three other former officers also pleaded guilty in the case which has tainted Biscayne Park force with allegations of racism in the mostly-white community.

    Atesiano pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge of depriving three suspects of their civil rights in September. His conviction carried a maximum sentence of 10 years.

    All three ex-officers implicated in the case cooperated with the FBI and prosecutors to reduce their prison time.

    Despicable -- And I agree. They should serve the terms their victims would have served.

        Chief was new at the job. Didn't know how not to get caught. The practice of nailing someone because of things they got away with prior has been happening for a long time.
        IF this was indeed solely race based as the media implies, then shame on them.
