Wait, did you just say that one example, "shattered", an entire preconception? Do you have any idea how absurd that sounds?
Quote:The most common defense I read about all these bad shootings (not the ones that are justified) is that "most cops are not like that". But apparently EVERY cop will lie to protect a murderer in their ranks and many times the DA's office goes along with them.
Because of one example? Quite the sweeping generalization counselor. I just supervised a case in which the private attorney contacted every victim and informed them that if they dropped the charges they would immediately be reimbursed financially for their losses. However, if the case went to trial they were informed they'd likely never see a dime. Based on your notably stringent standards of proof I can now logically infer that all defense attorneys are unethical human garbage right?
