Vanessa Bryant, wife of the deceased Kobe Bryant and mother of Gianna Bryant, has aired the names of the police officers who disrespected the memory of her late family members.

Following the horrific helicopter crash that claimed her husband and daughter's lives, certain police officials reportedly shared images of the remains of Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant.

In a ruling by a federal judge presiding over the case, the request to keep the officers' names and ranks under wraps was denied. This prompted Vanessa Bryant to take matters into her own hands. She has since posted multiple pages of the court docket, including their full names on her Instagram profile.

The deputies stand accused of inappropriately sharing "gratuitous photos of the dead children, parents, and coaches."

An excerpt from the lawsuit describes the exact nature of their offence:

"Deputy Cruz showed photos of the Bryants’ remains to a fellow bar patron and the restaurant’s bartender, and he is seen on the bar’s security camera zooming in and out of the images while displaying them to the bartender. One of the photos showed the body of a girl, and Cruz remarked that another showed the remains of Kobe Bryant."

Police officials have been under increasing scrutiny in the United States following the tragic death of George Floyd. Twitter users were happy to see them held accountable for their inappropriate actions.

Here are some reactions from Twitter users following Gianna Bryant's exposition:
