How can you complain about JBT's?
Talk about excessive force to the extreme!
I'm sure you're just exaggerating for effect, but that punishment does NOT fit the crime. Again they haven't been found guilty in a court of law. You've already tried, convicted and excessively punished them. Where is the justice in that?
Relax.

He might be but I am not. Punishment fitting the crime is not any standard by which punishment should be judged - deterrent effect is. Of course lets say we have someone who is willing to betray the public trust - the most highly prized notion we have for it is the basis of every level of our government. When any one harms that it harms the relationship between every citizen and every public servant which makes everything harder to do and puts every citizen in jeopardy (at least to the amount of citizens that are under that servant's jurisdiction). This is in fact great harm and even in your system great harm should be met with such in return as punishment.
Betraying the public trust is simply sedition - acting in a way to destroy the systems and foundations of our entire government.
