Dennard isn't going to get any prison time. You don't get prison time for punching a cop and causing a scene. Nobody was killed, or stabbed, or put in the hospital. Nobody was robbed or had their life threatened. If anything, he'll get sentenced to 30-days of community service, pay a fine, and have to take an anger management class. This isn't an offense that warrants jail time.
Chances are though, the charges will be dropped. It will be settled out of court, and we'll never hear about it ever again. That's what ALWAYS happens in cases like this.
I think people are simply over-blowing this story. Too many hens are clucking in the chicken-coop.
I doubt those charges get dropped. Reduced to a misdemeanor with probation and maybe some community service, yes, but assault on a police officer probably isn't going away any easier. Otherwise it could set a precedent in the community that you can tee off on the cops and nothing will happen to you. No way they are going to let that perception rule.
