Even if the consequences weren’t huge, it clearly demonstrates a fundamental problem with out attitude towards cops, in that someone so clearly unfit to have any authority over anyone can do something like this and not get fired for it.
I don’t have any special legal authority, but if I lied to a customer about the law while I was working, I would certainly get fired for it. People who do have legal authority, should, if anything be held to a higher standard, but the world is so full of bootlicks that we let them get away with shit like this.
