'You tarnished your reputation.' Ex-Miami-Dade cop gets 364 days for wrongful arrest

1. I am sure he never acted like that before

Right?

Good for the judge but a year isn't nearly enough for lying on the police report (not to mention the totally baseless arrest).

The judge gave him a break, but not nearly the break the prosecutor was ready to give him. That is why you need special state prosecutors to handle malfeasance by LEOs. Ones whose status and promotions are dictated by their successful convictions with meaningful punishment (just like we incentivize local DAs now who prosecute the rest of us).
