Tragic all the way around. Not only for the family of the victims but the lives of the officers and their families are irrevocably damaged as well. Behind the badges they are just regular people like the rest of us and are just as prone to making bad decisions. Definately not making excuses for them, what they did was inexcusable however they experience and deal with the worst that society has to offer, some handle it better than others.
Good friend of mine is an officer here in CA and was promoted to SGT in the juvenile sex crimes division he lasted about 5 years before he couldn't take it anymore and it changed who he is.
Good to hear from you Hylton, we miss ya!
