To all cops: You want your respect back? THEN EARN OUR TRUST BACK! As long as you fear integrity and accountability, you are NOT the good guys! It's BS like this that proves why NONE of you deserve ANYTHING!

Too bad they don't hold elected officials to the same standards and scrutiny. They also took an oath to uphold the Constitution.

I would be tickled if the judge in sentencing said to the cop who destroyed evidence, "Because you destroyed evidence, I can only assume it was terribly damning information of the most egregious kind, so I am forced to give you the most severe sentence allowed by law." Would serve the a-hole right.
