Now, you may know that Kobe Bryant's widow, Vanessa, is suing L.A. County because there is a cop who took and shared photos of Kobe Bryant's body after his fatal helicopter crash.

0:18.2

And that just exploded. And I don't even know if he was disciplined for it,

0:24.5

but it was just a horrific story.
