"For a law enforcement officer"? Have you ever known a cop?
Presumption of guilt is their M.O. I've had a few friends who are
police officers - their line of work makes them deeply cynical and
suspicious of everyone. I once was told by a cop that he was
*absolutely certain* that a kid had weed based solely on the kind of
car he was driving. I am not surprised at all that a law enforcement
officer would take the attitude that Goodman did.

This is not to say that L.E. officers are bad people - they're simply
a product of their line of work. They spend their entire workday
dealing with criminals; it should hardly be a surprise that this would
color their perspective.
