I just hope that the good people of Lake City will look beyond Mrs. McKnight's arrest and band together to help her children. They are the victims in this situation.

OK why is it that stupid people have to always bring up race? It is not about the color of a persons skin it is about RIGHT OR WRONG!!!! When you do wrong then you have to pay the punishment. She did wrong and she should pay for what she did. Why do we have to make everything a racial issues? Take a look into the United States Armed Forces. What color people are fighting for you to keep the freedom you have. The last time I checked they were all races not just one. So therefore all races should be treated EQUAL. If she were a white and not black we would not have even heard anything mentioned about race SO TELL ME NOW WHO IS THE RACIAL ONE!!!! Get over what color GOD made you and be happy for who you are and the freedom you have.

She will miss hanging around dunkin doughnuts & krispy kreme now since its all gonna be spent in prison. All i have to say is don't drop the soap. Cop thought she was gonna walk from this. Big surprise cops get arrested to.

Life is what you make it. Mike Vick is the worse yet white people been fighting chickens, dogs for years. That girl aint do nothing strange to those crooked politicians, Regan-Iran Contra.. Nixon- Watergate and how about BTK Killer. That girl dont need 20 years to rehabilitate. She needs to be punished but come on. Child molesters get less. Mandatory minimum?? ZLook at this 5 grams of crack equivalent to a kilo of powder cocaine??? Get real this black/white stuff gota stop. They knew crack was more prevalent in the hoods, but you can have a kilo in Hollywood partying it up. Rush Limbaugh said publically he wants the President to fail..And has anyone every seen so much of Dick Cheney talking on TV. I guess Barry Bonds is the only guy unworthy of Hall of Fame honors someday. I bet he will be the last if Mark , Roger and others are considered. Lastly when does a man get 15 years for going to retrieve his own stuff that was stolen. If we were so into the law, the guy who had the gun should be in jail, not OJ.. Its so transparent how society sets double standards. Maybe she should have been on the Rodney King scene or in that precient bathroom ramming broom handles up that guys anus. I bet no one received 20 years in all that I've mentioned.GOD Bless America

The 8 people that spoke and said that Shanita CARED about Lake City came out and told a lie. If she really had cared about Lake City and the people in the town then she would have done everything in her power to keep drugs off the street. But did she do this, NO she turned a blind eye and took money to stay quiet. If you ask me she should have gotten life. Is she cared so much for her young kids and really wanted to be home wtih them then she would have never done these things. She did them thinking she would not get caught because she was a police officer. TO MY A POLICE OFFICER SHOULD BE HONEST AND UPHOLD THE LAW NOT HELP TO KEEP WRONG DOINGS HIDDEN. If you ask my opinion, there needs to be a lot digging into the doings of the police dept in Lake City and I bet a lot more police officers will be right where Shanita is at. SHE GOT LESS THAN SHE DESERVES.....SHE NEEDS TO SPEND THE REST OF HER LIFE IN PRISON!!!!
