Trump Slammed for Pardoning the Sheriff. Why?

Since this is an international community. I wonder if other countries have this practice.

@cmoneyspinner There is nothing like this in Switzerland, France and Italy have the Presidential Pardoning, but it is limited to people who is in jail. The President can decide to give the Pardoning, but it's not automatic, a group of Judges must verify that there is a reason for the pardoning.

@LadyDuck - Oh! Thanks for that educating and insightful comment.

What Trump has done, other presidents have also done. I have never agreed with the PPP (presidential pardoning process). How I see it, the PPP smacks too much of the “good old boy network”. If you're not American, you are probably not familiar with this. But most Americans know what I'm talking about. America is a great country. But to say it's a perfect country would be a stretch! There are lots we can do to make this nation better. The most important thing is for Americans to always stand up for their rights, and to speak out because or while we have freedom of speech, and to fight for our freedom, and for truth, justice, and the American Way.

Justice - not just American justice - but JUSTICE - has never really been about making the public happy. It's about the appropriate punishment for a crime; it's about convicting the guilty, those who committed the crime; and it's about serving the public by applying the law equally and equitably because nobody is above the law. The public is usually happy when they have confidence and no fear that a person can't get away with a crime just because they're "special".
