Cops do not leave drugs lying on the sidewalk, no matter how ‘distraught’ they are.

Nope.
Faithful cops put suspected drugs in evidence, and that substance is subsequently analyzed in a lab by specialists for use at trial or other proceedings if the substance proves to be drugs.
Corrupt cops put discarded drugs in their pockets, to consume, sell, or plant later.
Oh, wait . . .
Your response reveals your anti-cop bias.
