Watching TV with my four year old son last night. We're flipping thru the channels, and stop on A&E. They're doing a show on the LA County SWAT Dept.
Ten minutes into the program they're talking about the two felons that wigged out and went on the full-auto shooting spree after the bank robbery last year. They were showing the file footage of these robbers with their AKs, dressed and body armor, helmets, goggles, jack boots - the whole Ninja nine yards.
At the same time they were showing footage of the SWAT team, basically dressed the same way. The program was flipping back and forth, showing the cops, then showing the bank robbers.
My son is getting confused. Everyone was wearing the same basic uniform. He kept asking "Is that the bad guy, Daddy?" "No, son. That's a policeman, he's the good guy." "Is that the bad guy, Daddy?" "Yeah he's the bad guy, that's the robber." "Are those the bad guys, Daddy?" "No, those guys are the good guys."
Finally, I just changed the channel.
