What did those guys do next in their lives?
And why do you think my questioning the status of these particular cops (and their supervisors) somehow trashes the NG?
Of course it doesn't.
I think its pretty trashing. I think it pretty much states that you distrust/hate, whatever, anybody who puts on a uniform and protects and serves be it nationally or locally. On a conservative site you really want to defend the prisoners' of Abu Ghraib and a gang banger in one fell swoop...wow...like I said before, I never cease to be surprised here.
