There's good and bad in everyone, and that little girl was lucky she met a cop who pulled out all the stops, and was respected enough to call in a bunch of favors that day. If he hadn't been such a stand up guy his whole career and convinced people to work a little faster or a little later than normal, they would not have gotten the evidence needed.
It;'s fucked up that he had to risk depriving the mom of her civil rights- maybe screwing up his own career in the process, but he was ready to do it because that Mom made her intentions clear. Other cops were not willing to charge her that day and have blowback. Life is complicated, doing the right thing isn't always clear or easy. But it's clear to me, my brother was a hero that day. That girls nightmare ended only because one person went the extra mile. Would that we would all step up like that.
