Const. Boris Borissov, a Toronto police officer found guilty of misusing police resources, falsifying police reports and stealing from dead people, will serve seven years in prison, an Ontario judge ruled Tuesday.

“Mr. Borissov’s conduct in stealing from the very persons he was duty-bound to protect and exploiting the investigative powers with which he was entrusted must be met with a stern denunciatory and deterrent response,” said Justice Mary Ellen Misener, who found Borissov guilty of all 15 charges for which he was tried in May.

“Otherwise, public confidence in the police and in the justice system will be eroded.”

    Now if they would only incarcerate the pigs that execute mentally vulnerable or indigenous people instead if giving them paid vacations and promotions.

    “Otherwise, public confidence in the police and in the justice system will be eroded.”

    Dude must have stolen from the rich to even get charged.
