Stupid Cop

[RuggedH2]

Humans have an infinite capacity to rationalize and justify their own behavior (especially to themselves). Drug dealers have the ability to make the gigantic leap - that they are innocent somehow because of their individual circumstances (whatever they are).

Laws are a black and white standard, they are made up of elements of the crime. If you met the elements, you committed the crime. In court is where your attorney can argue the circumstances and the gray area can be interpreted (or created), it works for you or not.

People don't generally tell doctors how the practice of medicine should be handled, because they assume the doctor is a professional. Police are routinely told how they should have handled every circumstance when in contact with the public.

It is a thankless job often. In many ways people are sheep, they assume their own safety. They leave valuables out in their cars. Then when the bad guy smashes out their window and takes their stuff they are pissed that the cop was not there to stop that conduct. There are not enough cops to protect absolutely everyone at the same time.

I could go on and on here. Think of any profession in the world, what if they took one hour off. One hour without doctors, at 12:30 to 1:30 this afternoon there would be no doctors, what would happen? Some people would obviously die. What would happen if everyone knew that all the police in the world were not going to be working from 12:30 to 1:30 this afternoon?

People are a lot like sheep. They fear the wolf. The sheep dog protects them from the wolf, the sheepdog looks a lot like a wolf to the sheep.
