Nor are you alone in that regard.  I would counter that this isn't the type of job that such an action is either wise or productive.  Think of the damage a LEO, judge or prosecuting attorney could do if they indulged in such vindictiveness?  Their decisions have far reaching consequences, the scorched earth tactic for them should not be an option.  They definitely shouldn't be lauded for engaging in it.

Soooooo, a police officer that's only days away from retirement shouldn't shoot the South African ambassador even if the ambassador's engaging in illegal behaviors up to and including murder?
