Agree 80% with you, lespark. But being a firefighter factors in (almost as much as when it’s an HPD officer) because people expect that they should be protectors of the vulnerable, not predators.

I hate it whenever they publish a suspect’s name and photo before a fair trial has been held. Any idiot can ruin someone else’s life with reckless accusations. Can’t they wait until conviction before outing the suspect?

Unfortunately, the news isn’t always news. Half the time it’s sensationalized entertainment.
