This is an informed crowd. As distasteful and unbelievable and disappointing as I find the events of the past twenty-four hours, I think that baying like wolves for the police to find evidence of criminality has no place.
There is no place for politics in law enforcement. I have always believed our (Canadian) system of professional crown attorneys (in place of elected district attorneys in the USA) and appointed judges (based on experience and reputation at the bar) as opposed to electing the 'hanging judge' in the USA was far superior. Look no further than Washington if you want to see the devastating impact of politics on law enforcement.
Should there be smoke, then let it be investigated and let the chips fall where they may.
We should be above being a mob. It isn't pretty here in this forum and it was no less pretty when an accused witch was burned at the stake in earlier days.
