In this case, the cops broke the law, knowingly and willfully, planned in advance to do so, lied to the public in the course of the commission of the crime, and lied more to try to cover it up. They tried to get away with it under the auspices of being cops. If that's not one of the most serious breaches of the public trust, I don't know what is.
At the end of the day, it's about more than "just an elk".
