Do Cops Think They Have Mystical Powers?

Evidence and facts are for the Little People. They are Super Cops™. Or something. Officers in Breonna Taylor Raid Allegedly Falsified Evidence Based on 'Gut Feeling,' Detective Says

Louisville detectives went with their “gut feeling,” and falsified evidence to search Breonna Taylor’s apartment when they couldn’t find proof that it was being used for drug trafficking, according to a plea agreement signed by one of the officers charged by the U.S. Justice Department.

Say that again. They couldn't find proof, so they disregarded reality in favor of what they wanted to be true. Wished was true? Because hey, just going with their own prejudices is so much easier than finding actual proof, and dealing with reality. And besides they "trusted their gut" which is clearly a mechanism that God uses to communicate with Super Cops™. Or something.

And besides, everyone else is doing it.

Defense attorneys say this kind of alleged wrongdoing—making false statements on documents like affidavits and search warrants—is almost routine among some police officers. Such misconduct “is staggeringly common,” says Joe Margulies, a criminal law professor at Cornell University and former federal defender. “These are casual falsehoods that are calculatedly inserted into an affidavit in support of a warrant application. They are practiced at this.”

Don't hold your breath hoping that anyone will be held accountable for lying to a judge. Or I should say that any COP will held accountable for lying to a judge.
