It's hard to buy any arguments that raise comparisons between private misdeeds as does law dawg or inspectors in other countries as does TSAMGR without the thought constantly coming to mind that these are people who have been sworn to serve and protect us.
Over the years I have maintained friendships with relatively high level law enforcement officials who themselves would have found these actions beyond abhorrent and, if they happened in their bailiwicks, would have considered it such a humiliating blot upon their services that they would never stop dealing with the problem until the culprits were expunged and there was reasonable certainty that there would be no recurrence.
Here, all we have is bald faced expressions of "See, it happens everywhere" and bloated out-of-control ad hominem attacks on critics.
