This is reported by the "Caucasian Knot".

The commentary was as follows: “These are not stupid laws, but those who are appointed to fulfill them are criminals! Scum judges, scoundrel police officers, rogue prosecutors…” FSB experts concluded that Shulga’s words were aimed “at humiliating the human dignity of the social groups ‘policemen’, ‘judges’ and ‘prosecutors’,” Mediazona . reported
