Yep. It's pretty simple, "bad" people are "bad" because they do "bad" things. If we do "bad" things then we are "bad" too.
A lot of us would like to believe we aren't just another evil empire doing evil things in an evil world. It would be really nice if we could get some cooperation from our government on that.
Most of us have the common sense to know that you don't do this kind of shit to people. What do we do now? Tell our kids that this is the kind of stuff our heroic government agents have been up to? No wonder law enforcement has no regard for civilian lives. No wonder our government does nothing to reign them in. Seems you can wear a uniform and get away with literally anything, not just get away with it, get paid for it.
I got no problem hunting the bastards down and killing every last one if we are at war, even though that word doesnt mean much any more, but if we are at the point where we have to stoop to this garbage to find the bad guys, I say let the bad guys go for now, we'll get'm later. Not gonna go shoving rice pilaff up someone's ass to find them.
How long do you think it's gonna be now till a grand jury fails to indict a cop for anal feeding an unarmed civilan? Maybe they were resisting arrest or there was reasonable suspicion they knew were the bad guys were hiding the single cigarettes?
