I do however take serious offense at the quick reaction people take that automatically make the Police instantly guilty by public opinion until they are proved innocent. The same holds true with our servicemen and women wearing military uniform. Automatically guilty by public opinion has got to stop. A great deal of public opinion being so fast to cast guilt is how a story is portrayed or written which leads the viewer/reader intentionally one direction or the other, often times having so few facts.
