I wish this sort of insanity were the exception to the rule, but it is not.

Common sense is dead.

I wish this sort of insanity were the exception to the rule, but it is not.

Common sense is dead.

As is an appreciation for and a deference to a 13 year veteran's considerable training and experience, and the realization that sometimes events on the scene do not always lend themselves precisely to the rule book.  If he violated procedure, that's fine...give him some more training and have his Commanding Officer have a quiet word with him to insure that he understands not to do it again, but this business of not publicly firing him but hounding him out of his job is just so underhanded, low-class and cowardly there's no excuse for it.
