We all benefit from the insight into law enforcement that you provide, EEE.

I'm midway through book "Ordinary Men". It recounts the involvement of a reserve police unit from Hamburg, Germany during the Holocaust. It didn't take long for these "ordinary men" to acclimate to the slaughtering of men, women, children, infants, etc.

Drawing any parallels between our current state of affairs and the Holocaust, Nazis, Hitler, etc. is of course a minefield, but I'll still venture out into this one. Some of the most die-hard Trump supporters, and yes, it's a minority of them certainly, would have fit in nicely with the ordinary men who I am reading about. Provide a certain type of man with an identity, a cause, a community, and a charismatic leader, and he will do virtually anything!

This is a chilling read that must be understood and remembered by future generations.
