Only ones. Why, upon 2 seconds reflection, would anyone assume that putting on a uniform makes you "better"?(Never mind studying history, human nature, criminology-where you must conclude that the uniform makes you less trustworthy)

jon said...

we're the only ones...

stickler for paperwork,
freshening up,
doing a little algebra,
strapped for cash,
testing the product,
half-baked,
making a help-meet,
temporarily out of service,
pics or it didn't happen,
fondly recalled,
honey, i'm home!,
making snap judgements,
struggling for justice,
metrosexual,
canadian presto!,
stating our income,
making the lame walk,
resourceful,
averaging 20,
thorough and ethical,
any means necessary,
exhibiting professionalism,
making a market,

...enough.

I guess that it's no longer a "few bad apples" anymore. May we safely assume that ALL cops are corrupt?

straightarrow said...

I do. Each of them must PROVE to me they are not corrupt. They no longer have the right to expect treatment reserved for non-gangmembers.

WNG wrote a more complete commentary about the blue flu incident on his LRC blog. possibly worth revisiting.
