If you really believe this to be the case, how do you rationalize that? If our President or one's parents or management of a corporation expect their people, children and employees to act in a certain way, aren't they to set the bar for behavior, as opposed to a declaration of "Do as I say, not as I do?"
I don't care for the acceptance of law enforcement breaking laws. This gives said officers the opportunity to play judge and jury. Too many innocents are being falsely convicted. That's unacceptable in my book and not the price we should have to pay for democracy and our wonderful system of justice.
Maybe if cops were held to a higher standard, people would have more respect for the law. Just sayin'.
