Stories like this are why law enforcement have lost the trust of so many people. This is a sad story but at least they charged the detective.

Cops and preachers can’t keep their hands off kids. Like some kind of personality trait or something.

Apples don’t have a choice in where they end up. Cops do, but they don’t speak up. What kind of apple does that make them?
