“He is not a citizen. He is a police officer.”

Nice follow-up on one of our favorite badge-wearing thugs still on the DPD payroll. That titular quote from another officer goes to the heart of what’s wrong with the mentality of some cops — that is, when they forget they, too, are citizens with no more rights than anyone else. A lot of people say that you shouldn’t judge cops so harshly. But it’s precisely because of the position they hold they need to be held to higher standards.
