Is this really on-mission for RW? Secret Squirrel 01:51, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Not as such, but might be a good fit in a capital punishment article, perhaps? TheoryOfPractice 01:55, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, we deal with pseudo-law, and make fun of things in government and politics that don't make sense. I think it fits as well as our article on Troy Davis.--Mustex 02:31, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it's barely on-mission, in that there is some debunking of stupidity. Let it ride for a bit? Mustex, please use colons to indent your comments, as I did for you in this edit... Also, I'm gald you call us "our".  Welcome to the trough.  03:22, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe it demonstrated a propensity for self deception amongst the police force, namely the desire to get a conviction before the desire to get an accurate conviction. It does demonstrate much of the mentality that R-W stands against. In some ways it parallels the creationist's desire to get an answer to scientific mysteries outweighing the desire to get an accurate and logical answer to those mysteries.--Zipperback (talk) 11:38, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Law enforcement? Law enforcement woo? Wrongful conviction?--ZooGuard (talk) 12:57, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Police are only human and may take up illogical biases or practices if not thoroughly trained. Police work has come a long way in the past century but as with medicine there are remenants of superstition from older times. If Skeptic's dictionary can have an article on "Blue Sense" we can probably compile some topics on law enforcement woo. --Zipperback (talk) 22:21, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
