A Russian former police officer who shot dead 2 people in a Moscow supermarket is sentenced to jail for his life. He murdered 2 people and attempted 22 murders last April. The CCTV in the store recorded the shooting, which seven people were wounded. Yevsyukov, a former local police chief, was in his full uniform when he entered the supermarket, and he shot people with his pistol at random. Prosecutors say that Yevsyukov was drunk and was not in his right state of mind at the time. However, psychiatrists said there was nothing wrong with his mind. Disregarding the fact that he might not have been in his mind, he is still sentenced in jail for the rest of his life.I strongly agree with the judge's decision that he should be put to jail for the rest of his life. I don't think the fact that Yevsyukov was a former local police chief should keep him out of jail because him being the former local police chief does not affect the consequences of his actions. Moreover, I believe that because he was a former local police chief, he should have received a harsher punishment than an average man would get. A police officer should be responsible for the citizens' safety; and Yevsyukov was the head of all local police officers. In addition to being a murderer, he was not responsible for his duties. Therefore, I think this harsh punishment was the right consequence for his actions.
