>>....and yet I am called a "mental midget" for questioning the intelligence of members of law enforcement.

You were called out for the same reason that I call out our opponents. Since one member of Law Enforcement does something stupid; all law enforcement is stupid? How many law enforcement officers are there in this country? I think my point is clear.

We (herpers) are painted with a broad brush by many in law enforcement because of few miscreants within our ranks. We get mad because we are seen in the same light as the few bad apples. If we can't see people as individuals how can we expect our representatives, senators and law enforcement to see us as individuals?
