We're the Only Ones With No Honor Among Thieves Enough

A retired Florida Highway Patrol Trooper is accused of stealing money from his co-workers.
How can you not trust an "Only One"? I thought they were morally superior to us...

The answer to anyone's question about cops stealing other people's property can be seen on TV. Every locker room that cops change or ready for their shift always shows locks on their lockers. There's a reason cops lock their lockers, you bet there is.

Surely these paragons of civil order and pillars of the "thin blue line" will band together to protect their brother officer, just like they have done when one of their own commits crime against the public at large.

Of course the Department will release a statement saying he was just following departmental procedure, which ironically they can prove if they want. And of course his union rep will release a statement castigating anyone who accuses this poor officer, who put his life on the line everday to keep the public safe for, uh from thieves.

Then the DA will refuse to file charges or drop any charges against this man who had an exemplary career, which ironically is also true, him being just one example, I mean.

At some point the department or the union will weigh in again and mention that the academy didn't teach him not to take other people's property and better education of officers is the answer, not persecution of this brave man who served his community for so many years.

Surely they will do all that. Oh, wait, he stole from his own gang, didn't he? Well then, maybe not.
