The reality is that people generally see the police when things go
wrong.  It's just the nature of the job.  That's why I love talking to
them when nothing is going on.  They are such a pure pleasure to hang
out with because they are happy not dealing with other stuff. Sure, they
make mistakes, who doesn't.  I'm not casting any stones...
