I agree that it is just 3 morons that did this, but the fact that there were 3 morons on the police force does not generate much confidence.
It is like the police officer here in Calgary who was busted for impaired driving, and it was at least his second charge.
I'm not sure the police force is one of those "do as I say, not as I do" type of professions.

This is true.
Also important is the context in which this happened. Police forces in BC do not receive the same degree of public support as they do in Alberta. The attitude in this province is significantly different. Incidents involving police officer misconduct just create more problems for the vast majority of police officers doing an honest job in often very difficult circumstances.
