Jeez, I'm glad that wasn't directed at me!
I agree completely with what you say, and I sure wasn't trying to let the cops off the hook for their behavior.
My grandfather was a cop, and I have a few good friends who are cops, so I know that by and large their intentions are good.
And I'm back to my original point that poor law, as Kana agreed to in general terms,

can have terrible side effects for society. Unintended consequences, as they say.
And the jury just acquitted the cops in New Yawk for the murder of the young black. The jury must have been bought, or perhaps just racist.
