As an officer, I shouldn’t be amazed by all of this. I mean, I’ve experienced what Crowley is currently going through (though certainly not on as grand a stage) and have seen it happen countless times to other good, well-intentioned officers.

Still, when things like this occur, I continue to be stunned. I guess, being a decent, clear-minded person, when I see people so adamant in their amazingly flawed views of reality, it still sticks in my craw and makes me wonder where we went wrong as a society.

Once again, the bad guy gets away with it. Why do I even bother to do this job?

*sigh*
