By that logic, are all mechanics looking to screw customers over? perhaps not, but ya gotta to keep an eye on all of 'em... Do all people that live in trailers watch NASCAR? 'round here that may be a moot question. Silly questions, I know, but what do you call it when you judge a group of people* by the actions of a few? it usually ain't just a few and it is stereotyping, profiling, prejudice...which ain't always a bad thing.
* race, religion, gender, occupation, creed, ect.

jus' remember copper, that u is the po-lease...poor as hell and least respected. do you spend a lot of time in the do-nut shop? you're never right and you're always wrong. nobody wants you around unless it's an emergency. the people that need your help don't want it. the other people think you're a nazi brown shirt. ever notice how those anti-gun types, when they have been robbed at gunpoint, call a man with a gun? do you go to choir practice and seek out others your own kind? do you hang with the civilians that drool over your uniform--some i'm sure, those carolina moon types, wowee, yessir---but for the most part those groupies just creep you out, don't they? why is it important to argue or justify why someone got a ticket or got off; happens every day, every time this old rock spins around; always has, always will, unless we get this braver new world enveloped with change--then it will revolve backwards...i can already feel it slowing down. this is the nut: there are the caught and the uncaught with the uncaught leading by a large margin. you don't have to defend anyone's actions except your own. that idealism is going to tarnish up a bit before you draw a pension. an officer always has discretion.
