The LA County Sheriff’s Department has allegedly shared scene photos form the helicopter crash that claimed the life of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others, and Lakers fans are now furious over it. On Jan. 26, Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter and their Mamba Academy friends along with the pilot, were killed in an accident in Calabasas, California. Now, the L.A. Times reports that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is investigating accusations that some deputies may have shared some very graphic photos from the site of the crash.

It’s unclear how widely the photos might have been disseminated and who exactly was involved. It’s also unclear whether the deputies had actually taken the photos at the scene or had received them from someone else. https://t.co/EzCckK6ec9

All i see is your paywall, so I can’t read the story, but i hope you’re not trying to accuse people of trying to profit off photos from his death while you’re charging people to read the story about his death…

Everyone complaining about paying to read an article: For only $1 you get 8 weeks to read everything. Then you can cancel. Newspapers have never been free. Pre-internet you still had to pay to read the paper. Why should it by any different now.

Listen there always has to be crime/accident scene photos because that’s just good investigation – but it is fucked up if they got out. Lose your job if true. Cell phone records…duh? Don’t cops watch 48 hours?

Does the law enforcement community really need anymore stains on their shields?
I really, really, hope this is not true.

Anybody who has ever spent any amount of time around police officers can pretty much guarantee that this happened
