Arresting the wrong person should never happen.

Medical malpractice should never happen. Innocent people stuck in jail should never happen. Structural failures that result in death should never happen. Fatal car crashes should never happen.
Must I go on?
We are all human beings, capable of mistakes, having bad days, etc.
No profession is perfect, nor are the actions of people on a daily basis.
I had a female cop draw her weapon on me years ago and I did not like the feeling.
Her justification to her superior (when I reported her) was that she felt intimidated by my size, as if that was some type of legitimate excuse.
The fact she was physically inferior, and would have been incapable of defending herself against me, is not my fault.
Instead it is the fault of the department for lowering the height/weight standards and the physical requirements to be a cop to begin with.
[But how often does our liberal media ever do investigations on the number of people injured or killed because of the lowering of standards in the emergency response services]
The point being that she might have shot me for no legit reason ( even by accident ), because she never should have drawn down on me in the first place (simple traffic stop and no aggression on my part).
She was not racist (we both are white), but she is a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. If she winds up shooting a minority, I am sure the leftist press will try to make it racial, but she is just incapable of doing the job from a physical and mental standpoint.
All that said, far too many minorities think they are being picked on due to racism or some other reason (the so called driving while black fallacy).
In reality it could be something they did to draw the polices attention (like in my case), and then you are dealing with another human being that can and sometimes will make a mistake.
It is not really a hard concept to understand, but those with racial chips on their shoulders, or are mentally warped into thinking everything is race related, will draw the wrong conclusions.
