another reason for preferring the term rationalist to humanist, is that humans are not the only reservoir of reason. Even my cats may have some limited capacity for reasoning, and some of the other primates almost certainly. We are being just as arrogant as the God-believers if we think we have monopolized this capacity, in the same way they think that humans have a soul and animals don't.But it all means the same thing in the end.

It is this sort of incident which undermines confidence in the police. If they are going to lie about this sort of minor incident, then how about when the stakes are higher, as in a shooting?

We don't get to shop around for our police force, so there has to be a higher standard applied to them. It is not as if we don't like the service of one police force, we can use another one.
