Seems like the judge is appeasing Nazism here, and failing to protect the policeman and his family

I don't agree. The charge was against a threat to dox a public servant only. The judge can only apply the laws relevant to what the prosecution is chasing and here they are chasing a threat to a police officer rather than something more nefarious. There is also now clear precedent that future cases can point to during sentencing. If he had released the info, the case would be entirely different.

Police lawyers do not mess around and would have been advised on what they would be able to succeed with in court.

IMO it is important because the law should not BE APPLIED to people based on their beliefs. This does not mean to say the system is flawless, only that this application of the law is not an error.

He's still in jail awaiting sentencing for Camp Sovereign though right?

Meh, as if we want a Nazi in our community for 1 hour, let alone 200 hours.
