The Double-Helix Dichotomy:
Police oppose DNA samples from their ranks while asking rape suspects to volunteer theirs

1. The police ARE special ....

But that doesnt mean they shouldnt provide thier own DNA samples ....

So: yes ... the police ARE 'special', but that speciality doesnt extend to DNA samples .... IMHO ....

3. The police are no more special...

than people who work for the fire department, the trash service, the zoning board, or any other municipal office.

They should live under the EXACT same rules they would have us live under.

2. They think they form part of a caste system

Right after the politicians and the religious leaders.
Hmmm...doesn't appear that the world has changed that much...does
it?

4. WRONG!!!! You are born into a caste

Not all policeman are born into their job. There may be common line in families with regards to their vocation but it is not a caste system.

It is near impossible to escape from a caste. The caste sysytem is inhumane and its existence in India today is why I am in a minority who thinks that Ghandi was a turd.
