Stupid is stupid no matter what it does for a living. But those tasked with holding society accountable have always been held to a higher standard than the general population.gigag04 wrote:If this story was about a UPS driver would we care?
Not sure what the guy's job has to do with his stupidity.
We don't give a second thought to John Smith having a fling with his coworker but we would be appalled if John Smith's minister did the same. Same thing applies here. The UPS driver doesn't hold people accountable for their behavior behind the wheel, the police officer does so society expects more from the officer than we do from the UPS driver.
