If you are passing by the 2nd District Police Headquarters in Cleveland this week, you may spot a man with long gray hair, a mustache, and a beard, and who's wearing an unusual sign. "I apologize to officer Simone, his family, all law enforcement and Ms. Adkins for threatening to kill them. I was being an idiot and it will never happen again," read the sign that was handmade by none other than the woman who sentenced 58-year-old Richard Dameron to wear it, Judge Pinkey Carr.
In early February, Dameron was arrested for threatening to kill police officers in multiple calls to 911. According to dispatch recordings, in one instance he threatened a retired officer named Jim Simone and then said he would "kill two cops." In another, he said, "I want to kill three cops. Bye." He also said he would murder his son's girlfriend (identified on the sign as "Ms. Adkins").
Judge Carr initially sentenced Dameron to 90 days in prison followed by a walk of shame—a week holding the sign in front of the police station from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. starting on Memorial Day. When he didn't show up to pick up the sign, Carr sent her bailiff to find him. The judge told WYKC that Dameron said to the bailiff, "I did 90 days, I can do another 90 days, I'm not doing this sign."
At Dameron's second sentencing, courtroom footage showed the judge telling him, "I don't have children; I don't play. When I ask you to do something, it's an order; it's not optional." She then slapped him with another 90 days for violating his probation, saying, "I'm like Burger King, you can have it your way." Carr also made it clear that Dameron would be required to stand in front of the police station beginning on Sept. 2.
While Carr spoke, a subdued-looking Dameron gazed at her and nodded slightly. The tough-talking judge concluded, "The punishment fits the crime. He offended this community, he offended the police officers, and I think he needs to apologize. I think it's an appropriate sentence."

Hey judge, what about when a cop actually goes through with killing a mundane?
