Body camera shows as deputies were attempting to escort 82-year-old Anthony Goulding’s wife out of the home, Goulding began pouring gasoline on the carpet outside of a back bedroom.
Goulding’s right arm catches fire and then he throws a gas canister at the deputy. The flames grow larger.
Goulding passed away in the house fire, along with a dog.
Using your most extreme example, would a monkey torturer still be a bad person if he helped fight crime and enforce restraining orders? Not to mention cops are paid to do both the good and the bad things, it isn’t like they are saints doing charity work.
That being said, life isn’t black and white, and pure bad people don’t exist much. The truth probably lies somewhere around them not being a bad person, but also not being a good person either. And I’m sure a few apples do the bad things with gritted teeth, thinking it’s the only way they can continue doing the good things.
I do wish more would take a stand. I can’t help but seeing this as enabling a broken system.
