I dunno, dandi and djones.
As a professional civilian and someone who's never had anything but pleasant contacts with policeman in various places, I'm willing to allow both cops and soldiers to be human.
American cops and American soldiers have always been more decent and civilized than cops and soldiers from anywhere else in the world.
But we're all human, and sometimes "lose it."
It's demanding too much that cops and soldiers be 100% perfect.
Ninety-nine percent perfect, ninety-nine percent better than the ordinary run of humanity, is good enough.
And they're both 99%.
Excresence happens. Tanker took me to task over at the other place several months ago, saying "excresence happens" isn't an acceptable excuse (he was referring to the military in this instance).
Well, it's great and all that, that for some people "excresence happens" isn't an "acceptable" excuse, but in my own humble personal individual opinion, it is.
