The enforcement of law is a two edged sword. Laws should be enacted to protect the public but much too often they are designed to protect special interest groups. Justice should be tempered with a sense of right and wrong but sadly that is often not the case. Examples of law enforcement overstepping its authority are much too frequent and often wagons are circled to protect the bastards who do so! A prime example being the RCMP members who slaughtered that poor Polish visitor in Vancouver and the lack of punishment that they received! I could relate many cases where the RCMP were true heroes and it is indeed a great pity that the force tarred so many dedicated officers by protecting a few rotten apples! Someone once said "The law is an ass" and too often the enforcers of the law prove the statement true! Heroes are made, not born, and sometimes a crisis will raise the cream to the top. However shit also floats so the parodox goes on and on.
