Could this be a natural result of the cultural shift away from viewing police work being honorable and decent like it was after 9/11? Seems like recent events could have applied selection pressure to make only those who could care less about honor or decency willing to stay in the profession. Sad all around. If a civil servant talks this way about a 23 year old grad student being killed in a fashion that would put an average citizen immediately under the jail, it's probably wood chipper time for them. What a disgrace.
