Cannibalism remains common among non-human animals, and was common among indigenous human cultures. Animals don't suffer from morality, so they eat members of their own species without concern; indigenous cultures did not share our contemporary ideas on morality, so they ate fellow humans without concern.
The only reason for you to view cannibalism as wrong are your contemporary ideas on morality, which are subjective. A person can adopt ideas on morality that allow cannibalism without suffering from a mental defect or demonic possession, because no sound argument that one set of morals is superior over the other can be made. It amounts to a difference of opinion.
The officer and his accomplice are completely sane, they're just not interested in abiding by the rules we as a society generally agree everyone must obey. Charge them, convict them, ship them off to prison, and amp up the screening process NYPD officers go through. Quote:
