I wouldn't have thought his assault was worthy of much more than that as people with broken limbs normally get suspended or community sentences, but the other guy got 2 years for a similar offence and injury so who knows?
One thing to point out is that this case was brought by other coppers informing on him which was right.

We will have to wait until Tuesday to find out what sentence he is given or if it is sent to the high court which I doubt will happen.
