Dan Ireland, who is the executive director of the Alabama Citizens’ Action Program, was quoted as saying:”Laws are made to protect the public. Sometimes you have to protect the public against themselves.”

I bet violence.
No, that wasn’t it either.

And a Happy Thanksgiving to you, Cpl. O’Connor.

As a child, my parents took great pains to teach me to respect an officer of the law simply because he was an officer of the law. It never entered into the equation whether he was a decent person or not. He was an officer of the law, so he had to be a good guy.
