Malfeasance and Misfeasance are two entirely different things. 'Dirty' cops, criminals with badges, practise MALfeasance. Cops who make poor professional decisions practise MISfeasance. In both cases tragic results can happen. But I always caution friends when the rants turn to cop bashing, to think before lashing out. Despite thousands of hours of TV and movies and billions of lines of print media knowing it is doing it. Law enforcement is a profession. It is the only profession I know of in which the vast majority of Americans BELIEVE somewhat qualified to comment on because they watch TV or once got a ticket. Mr. Lusk writes alot and I have read almost all of it, am I qualified to be his harshest critic? Cecil writes alot about trout, am I qualified to be his harshest critic? Nope in either case. When outraged by police action please always attempt to quantify and qualify the outrage.
