Exactly. Reclaiming some honor can only be done by hanging up the badge and gun.
The cop admitted he was wrong to do what he did. Maybe a poor choice to do what he did but he owed up to it.
That’s different from Drew Brees who stood up for the right thing only to back down under pressure and then apologize over and over again for what he said..
