I don’t disagree with you on that point. All my point was was that most guys in blue don’t have a lot of training in this area. The article is about the decision to NOT file criminal charges. That is ALL the article is about. Everyone can get on their high horse all they want but bio-haz disposal is NOT a large part of POST.
It’s improper disposal of bio-waste, I’m kind of surprised they didn’t at least get hit with a fine. Not too long ago there was a HUGE to-do down here in Tucson when somebody found a new/still born in the trash in my neighborhood. Vast numbers of cops (I went to the gym that morning and had to navigate around about a dozen cop cars, labeled and plain) to eventually figure out it was the teenager in the house that trash can belonged to and then to figure out if the baby was alive when “disposed”. She eventually got at least fined, and yet when a cop does something similar it’s apparently no big deal. These kind of double standards aren’t good for the country, cops should be held to a higher standard than civilians, not lower. All these guys had to do was call forensics and let them handle it, and I think they actually get quite a bit of training in how to deal with body parts, most of which probably revolves around “call forensics and let them handle it”.
