A police officer has been jailed for 26 years for 20 offences including multiple counts of rape and sexual assault on a child.

Stephen Hardy, 46, a detective constable with Greater Manchester Police (GMP), used his teenage victim as a “puppet or sex object”, Judge Robert Trevor-Jones said during his sentencing on Wednesday.

If cops willingly look the other way while bad cops do bad things, then yes, they are all bad, just to different degrees.

We've seen endless mountains of evidence that this is a CULTURAL problem that has infected police from coast to coast.

I shudder to think how bad things were before we started forcing them to wear body cams, and before we all had smartphone cameras.
