B-52 Crash at Fairchild AFB in 1994

I see it in LE also.  In a world that has a very low or even a zero defect type mentality, I never understood how a guy like this gets protected by those around him.   Even in law enforcement, there are guys who are a complete waste of a position, who are somehow "in the circle" protected by people who you would think would be the first to want that person gone.  Military, especially pilots, cops, firefighters, EMS are usually rule followers to an extreme.  But somehow people like this end up untouchable.  Don't get it.

Blue Veil/Blue Shield kind of thing?

No nothing sinister like that I just mean guys who are just not very good cops. I have been very fortunate that in my almost 17 years to see blatant dishonesty or anything criminal is dealt with pretty swiftly.

There was a good lecture on it in the ACSC. If I can dredge up the disk, I'll send you a copy.
