AIBU to see this case as the real two tier policing in practice?

To think this is an example of the real two tier policing:

Ex copper, woman at that, commits serious crime and funds a great lifestyle, when it comes to it she pisses off home and the men go to prison. Prisons that are awash with drugs by the way, because of shitbags like her.

So, IABU - two tier policing is either not a thing or is only about race

IANBU - two tier policing actually very often benefits white women and people in positions of power more than anyone else.

Go away and read about the huge amount of men who commit sexual crimes against women and children who don’t receive a prison sentence and then come back to us.

YABU. This is not even about policing, but courts.

How is it two tier policing?

woman commits crime, police gather evidence, charge, bring case to court. Found guilty, gets sentenced- same as the men and anyone else.

it was the judge that handed down the sentence, not the police.
