We're the Only Ones Misconducting Ourselves Enough

Sexual advances to superiors' wives, drunk driving and consorting with criminals are among 106 proven cases of misconduct of municipal police officers in B.C. over the past two years, CBC News has learned.

But they still must be better than ordinary Canadians. Why else would they be trusted as "Only Ones," eh?

Still, overt disrespect for the brass, exhibited in the form of a challenge to their manhood, jibes with some of the noises I've heard about how politically ambitious management has to trade in their...uh...round things in order to advance. I wouldn't necessarily view divisions between troops and their command structure a bad thing. True, unchecked rogues with attitudes can be more dangerous in terms of random individual encounters, but on the macro level, an undisciplined and dispirited force is generally less effective at achieving coordinated objectives.

If the objective is citizen disarmament, and it is, you want that.
