I always am amazed at how some cops feel that other cops need to back them up when they do wrong. I get the whole idea of trust, being able to put your life in your partner's hands if need be. But sometimes cops forget that their primary goal is to serve the *people*, and that a cop who's violated our trust isn't worthy of protection. Same with Bush. He and his gang are our servants, not the other way around, and he should be surrounded by people who remind him to do what's right by us, not by his narrow definition of right and wrong. > > -------------- Original message -------------- > From: "g123curious" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > In 6+ years, what I see is W doesn't hire deep thinkers or the > brightest folks.
