Looks like they killed their careers before they even began. What were they thinking, how the hell did they think this was gonna go well.

Just takes one time to ruin it for the rest. The cadet program is suspended for now from what I hear.

Makes you wonder why they where really there to begin with.

Did they really aspire to become cops, or where they just in it to net some

Either way it seems that the cars were more or less recovered, the article doesn't have
any further mention of the Radios and Tazers tho..

At what point does this seem like even a remotely good idea?
