A Detective Sabotaged His Own Cases Because He Didn’t Like the Prosecutor. The Police Department Did Nothing to Stop Him.

    So cops either lie to get convictions or refuse to testify and let murderers go free and everyone is supposed to just go “Yeah, that’s totally what upstanding people of strong moral fiber who are supposed to protect me do”?

    None of this endears anyone to cops or the current system they operate in.
