[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AK 47625714 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Master Chef What is burning in my mind is this: [i]When can we get past the monolithic "police" and start to treat law enforcement as individuals in the way we demand they treat us?[/i] This is just a job for them, in the end. They go home to a family, a spouse, or a pet, just as anyone else does. Why the hate?[/quote]They are sworn to uphold and enforce the laws. They must be held accountable to those same laws. To do any less would be irresponsible and stupid. The officer violated the law, and he is facing the consequences of his actions. Plain and simple.[/quote]at the possible expense of the public. that is irresponsible.
