LC, I want to add that I do not hate cops. It bothers me that you have taken this attitude toward me. All people need to be held accountable for their actions, no matter their profession. I highly doubt if I posted some news items of surgeons cutting off the wrong body parts or killing their patients that you would call it "anti doctor rhetoric". You would know that doctors are just people like the rest of us and some are reckless and dangerous. That wouldn't mean that all doctors are bad, which is the position you take about cops when wrongdoing is pointed out. The whole point of having police is to protect the public from criminals, not to terrorize innocent people and then cover up those atrocities. When that happens, and all of the professions do it, it tarnishes the good cops. Can you not see that? I have nothing but respect and admiration for LE who put themselves at risk to serve their fellow citizens. That doesn't mean I have to give a pass to those who are a danger to their community and country.
