It looks bad when participants on one side of the altercation destroy the evidence, which is what’s being alleged in the story, wouldn’t you agree? My point is “Why not use technology that’s available to keep that from happening?”

I completely agree with you there. Where I have a problem is with the theory that the cops in question are obviously guilty. The presumption of innocence applies to cops, too. The media is trying to Zimmerman the cops, which is more or less the average reporter's default posture. It just annoys me that so many people fall for the media's standard sleight-of-hand.

Yeah, I agree with that, too. I don't know the particulars of this situation and have no particular interest in learning them. But it looks bad when Cops destroy evidence, and that's not proven in this case either. There's a witness claiming the contents of a cell phone were altered by the Police. Can that be proven or not? Until then, I assume innocence because that seems reasonable. I expect the same in return.
