If his day job wasn't being a cop - and he was a longshoreman or an accountant instead - and you read about an American citizen being beaten and robbed by a gang of six foreigners, in his own hometown, for the offense of making conversation with a girl at a bar, you would be outraged.
But, because of his job description, your reaction is completely different and, frankly, ridiculous.
I'm not the predictable one.
