As a "former prosecutor" I would suspect you would know better.

I think RightwardHo's correct. Think Mark Furhman in the O.J. Simpson case. If the officer is white, this comment will be raised as a possible indicator of bias every time he has to testify in a case involving a minority defendant.

The officer found evidence (like Fuhrman)? The comment is raised as possible evidence he is biased and planted it. The officer testifies as to what he witnesses? The comment is raised as possible evidence he is biased and is exaggerating or lying.

This officer is a prosecutor's nightmare. Fuhrman's racial comments, made in North Carolina in the context of a movie script, came back to cast doubt on his finding evidence in the O.J. Simpson case in California.

RighwardHo nailed it.

Fhurmans very old comments should never have been allowed in the first place.

I heard a judge say that Ito should have declared a mistrial as soon as that testimony was made.

Maybe the cop can get a gig on Fox when he’s fired.

This Cop is in Louisiana, the Martin case is in Florida.

Your post is not only not applicable, it's a bit bizarre.

After reading again, you raise a valid point.
