Because the police do lie, many do feel the ends justify the means. Not all, but oh so many. You can bet your ass if you ask every one if they have ever lied, whether it be by omission or outright, to help convict someone they 100% BELEIVE did it not couls PROVE did it they would all say they have.
Sadly one of the biggest and most damaging misconceptions is that if you ask 9 outm 10 people if they would believe the word of a police oficer over the word of a citizen (even a squeky clean law abiding citizen) people will say they believe the cop. The FACT is from a legal perspective, in court, his testimony should carry no more wieght as a witness than anyone elses. When the hell is the last time THAt ever happened. Anyway..rant over
Good point. A cops word and a civilians word should be held as equal, they're both men. In the same light, murdering a civilian or a police officer should carry the same penalty. One life is not more valuable than the other simply because of the job one happens to have. All life is equal, all life is sacred.
