   I know that was what you were referring to.   
      
   But you make it a point to so often forget the victims of you and your ilk,   
   and the axiom fit so perfectly that I couldn't help but point it out.   
      
   You see Lefty, when Law Enforcement Officers step over the line, its an   
   aberration.   
      
   When a crimm does it, it is the norm.   
      
   Just because a Law Enforcement Officer does it somewhere, sometime, does not   
   make it alright for you to do it.  And that's the Truth you just can't face.
