Yes, these are not "national terrorists" but because of the public and media frenzy, even with "proof" it was a cluster mess.
I'm just saying I want the RIGHT person caught, not just the first one they think may be it. |
They do get it wrong sometimes and target the wrong person but not the majority of the time. Law enforcement is made up of human beings and their ranks are sometimes just as representative of the kinds of things humans do as any other vocation - jump to conclusions or knowingly do the wrong thing to make themselves and their compatriots look good, get approbation, raises and bonuses, get attention or get rich. You see irresponsible behavior by officials and individual citizens quite a bit, it is true - but for the most part, they and we all do our best to get it right, especially if getting it wrong in this case means a bomber and a murderer is still on the loose.
