There are lots of rules and laws cops are supposed to follow. Don't see why they'd let a guy in a robe with a hammer convince them. Throw one in jail and maybe they'll fall in line, but they'd probably all just cry and quit.

Who's going to throw them in jail? Another cop?

That should be the case. But we can't expect any honor amongst class traitors can we?

I wonder if this ruling gets appealed?
