Police Procedures

If picking on certain groups doesn't even work, why do it? Tolerance of the tolerable is good. Diversity is good. It makes us stronger.

I once took a psychology class where they showed a video that clearly demonstrated how different folks perceptions of the same event can be. Basically someone in a crowd fired a weapon and you couldn't tell exactly who but the scene was rife with suggestive clues (both right and wrong). It appears that even false confessions can also corrupt those perceptions.
