He is ashamed they got caught. He knew goddamm well this was going on and didn't care.

He spoke a ton about how this makes police look bad and very little to the horrors of the victims. He should 100% resign and the whole "I swore to serve in good times and bad" is a crock of shit.

I’d have a very very difficult time believing 5 persons could all maintain a lie, and collaborate to keep it covered up, and not under the watchful eye of their superior. Completely agree.
