Well, one has yet to be convicted and the other got a slap on the wrist.

Plus, this is a very odd but telling comment by DA Wagstaffe in one of the stories:

"Of course, there is always the philosophical question of whether a police officer should be held to a little bit higher standard.”

Many citizens believe that Wagstaffe does not hold police in San Mateo County to higher standards.

Come on now...it's well known that he won't even hold them to the SAME standard let alone a higher one. All part of backwards SMC and unions having way too much say, and Wagstaffe's "law enforcement family" philosophy.

I can tell you when he will prosecute and when he won't. It's really simple (I used to work in that office): does the police department/chief support it or not? Has nothing to do with any other factor.
