Police officers, given that they have the power of life or death over others' lives, should be held to a higher standard, not a lower one. Apparently, this is still extremely controversial in America, where our culture insists that it be the opposite way: hold police to a lower standard, let them steal, beat, rape, and murder almost at will. In a sick society like this, one shouldn't wonder why the masses are cheering on the burning of police stations and courthouses. In a society like this, police are just the biggest gang and frankly, any action against them is defensible ethically, if not legally.
