Every time a teacher gets busted for child molestation, do we have a thread saying "teachers are at war" with us, or pondering a possible epidemic of teachers raping children?
No. Unfortunately, police are the most common authority figures in our society, and are the biggest targets of people who have a problem with authority, IMO. The vast majority of cops are pretty good people doing a samn hard, brave job. Like anyone, cops can make mistakes and, in this particular case, we seem to have a few bad apples who, if things are as they appear, should go to jail.
