Double Standard

When cops are arrested, the police can do two things: open up for an investigation and try to be as transparent as possible, or circle the wagons and try to keep their own from the fire.

The first option is the best, of course, and the police force has gone to great pains to make sure we all know there isn’t a double standard here. But there is a double standard, of course. While the rest of us would rot in jail (or rot on bail) with no method of support, the cops are suspended with pay.

There’s your double standard.
