A refrain I am sick of hearing...
A government agency of some sort, be it cops, schools or dog catcher, does something stupid, dangerous or immoral...
The investigation reveals that the government entity in question adhered to its policies and procedures, therefore the stupid, dangerous and/or immoral act is OK.
If I get to make the rules I have to follow, you're damn sure that I am acting in accordance with them when I hurt someone else...
This is why I am sick of hearing these cases.
Why on God's Green Earth® do these jerks get to make the rules they will follow and establish their own standards to be held accountable to?
It's a fundamental disconnect from what "by the people for the people" is supposed to mean.
