We live in a topsy-turvy world. Watching the evening news simply confirms that the chimpanzees are indeed in charge of guarding the bananas. I’ve been a police officer for a quarter of a century and have been called upon to try and settle disputes that took many years to develop. In fact, most disputes are far more complex than what a 30-second sound bite can possibly convey. Did you ever wonder why the cops didn’t act when it is blatantly obvious that a person or a group of persons were breaking the law ? The job of the police is complicated at the best of times. The officer is called upon to deal with both criminal and civil matters, and sometimes these matters are occurring simultaneously. On a Saturday night, after dealing with the mud, the blood and the beer, (the criminal law side of the house), the officer will eventually deal with the ensuing family break-up, child custody issues (the civil law side of the house) and the like.
