Former New York City Police Department (NYPD) sergeant Ritchard Blake has received five years of probation after being caught on surveillance camera shooting a man in the face and planting evidence on him.

Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Danny Chun made his final sentence last week, giving a slap on the wrist to Blake that is a shocking example of how law enforcement personnel experiences a different standard of justice than ordinary civilians.

Blake, 40, was recorded on Aug. 2, 2018 firing two bullets toward Thavone Santana’s jaw and then planting a blade next to Santana as he laid on the ground. He would later return to the crime scene and pick up the knife. According to a civil lawsuit filed against the city, Blake acted out in a jealous rage.
