[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1590397, member: 2189"] That's correct, I did not offer any commentary on the woman. The woman was found innocent of the charges as per the article and as I pointed out. Your charges seems more about the court of public opinion making the woman look bad in order to make the officer look justified in some manner. Well she's bad anyway so the officer did get her off the street so no harm, no foul. Also fact is, I never read the link you posted so it may be pure BS however as to her possible skeletons, I did offer your point "may well be true" as to her character. So a bad person is an excuse for me to lie in order to get the bad person? The bad person lied so I can lie back? This form of moral belief some of you people hold is rather, shall we say, Satanic! ;) However my focus was on the police officer who is upholding the law yet he choose to break it to achieve an end. If justice is achieved via injustice, how long before justice is gone? We seem to treat police officers as other worldly when it comes to ethics and thus the reverse is that all perps are liars and cheats. The officer's word is always true and the perps is always lie. The ole good verses evil thingy. I'm arguing there are contradictions to that thinking and many officers will agree as well. And some officers will go as far to say that the system promotes and rewards it and I tend to agree with that. Many of them don't like it either but our refusal to ignore it makes it worse and the few who do dare to speak out end up getting crushed which keeps the "thin blue line" in place. A false conviction creates 2 injustices. The first is that an innocent person is wrongly convicted and the second is that the guilty is still at large. I always love the great sheepdog story when it comes to folks like policeman and soldiers and no doubt many of them are noble in heart with intentions. The sheepdog does protect us from the ravaging wolves so that we live a peaceful life but the other side of the question so often never gets asked. So who is the farmer that owns the sheepdog? and At the end of the day, what does the farmer do with and too the sheep? and How does that differ in the end from what the wolf wants to do as it relates to the sheep's POV?
