The delusion that selling surplus police firearms to law abiding citizens will result in "guns on the street" is the fundamental philosophical difference between pro and anti 2A perspectives. To the anti-gun left-wing Statists, and gun not in the hands of an Agent of the State, is "on the Street".

no trade-in discount was available and insisted “the only remaining option was to destroy the guns so they don’t end up on the street.”

As stupid as this is, I'm surprised the Glock LE Sales department didn't make at least a token offer to take them in trade.

They probably did, but when the Statists asked what they would do with them, they said, "sell them", which wasn't acceptable to the Statists, who made up the story of their being no trade-in discount.

Being that they were S&W's they were doing everyone a favor.

To the anti's the only good gun is one that has been melted down and formed into a large steel dildo. To be used on themselves and others....

They should be charged with theft or corruption or something. Wantonly defrauding the taxpayers.

Those firearms they destroyed were all 3rd generation S&W 5906s. They could have at least brought M&Ps

Maybe donate them to some under budgeted department that hasn't seen new guns since Carter was president?
They should have to repay the tax payers for pissing money down the drain .

S&W 5906 is a pretty good gun except for the trigger and that damn mag disconnect. Sturdy reliable and just a bit on the heavy side , What a shame to waste them including 200 that where still in the box brand new. Supidity at its finest.
