This is really depressing. And sad. I was involved in the criminal justice system (not as a cop) for four decades, and at least 95% of the cops I encountered were honest, decent men and women who took "serve and protect" seriously. Yet it's so easy to go over the line in a position of authority and power.

He's cast a pall over his city, his fellow officers, and cops in general, as if there hasn't been enough of that recently - Memphis being the latest example. And I imagine he's thrown a bunch of convictions into question.

There should be a special place in hell for crooked and violent cops.
