This reminds me of people who jump on threads about animal abuse and start talking about how much worse abortion is. Guess what? People can be 100% opposed to abortion **AND ALSO** be opposed to animal abuse.

Likewise, people can 100% support law enforcement **AND ALSO** despise law enforcement officers who abuse their power, lie about their behavior, and terrorize citizens.

It’s not an either/or option.

you said it just right....just because we question the common sense of some police does not mean we don't support them whole heartedly .....

the law should be instructive, not punitive, especially for such high crimes as "crossing the double white line" or such pap...

Post #9 - Well said. It’s a good point that you made with few words.

BTW - Not ALL politicians are corrupt, power seeking egomaniacs. I just can’t point to any that don’t fit the stereo type anymore.

Well, we'll see on this thread. I bet half the posters will attack "eurotwit" for what he said. You either think that all cops are heroes or you're an ass to a lot of FReepers.
