"Horrifically ironic that the people sworn to protect those kids were the ones that committed a devastating crime against them." Firstly, let's remember to preface that with "allegedly". The everyday criminals get this consideration, this instance should be no different. Secondly, if the allegations prove to be true, I couldn't agree with you more. Lastly, the vast majority of LEOs (not just LMPD, but in general) are truly in the profession for the right reasons, and have solid moral compasses.
