My own view is that we should not have to tolerate discourtesy in public - or in private. However, I think Tom makes a valid point that is being skimmed over. we have laws and protocols that are intended to protect the public, and also to protect the people who protect the public. The legal system has to be independent and not governed by public opinion. If we simply join in condemnation of a guy based on hearsay and an abbreviated mobile-phone-movie we short change not only the guys concerned but also ourselves by undermining the very basic tenets of our legal system. It is easy to have opinions, less easy to ensure that the law is independent and does the job for which it is intended.
