The whole thing seems insane, imagine if there were some instances of surgeons screwing up surgeries, and then people opened a shitstorm that all surgeons are murderers and demand all surgeons to apologize for this. And then want to make a law to be able to put every surgeon who makes the tiniest mistake on trial.
Almost correct.
If those surgeons specifically operated on one nationality of person over another, already illegally, and if one of them was a bunch of surgeons just walking up to a guy, choking him and leaving him to die on the street then the coroner saying it was a homicide and STILL no arrests being made...(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Eric_Garner)
Or if one of them shot the said patient in the head while he was drugged and it was declared a suicide? (https://www.google.com/#q=man+handcuffed+shot+self&spell=1)
Or if the surgeons took away your physical possessions based on reasons that do not require permit or allowance.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_forfeiture_in_the_United_States)
Or if when you FINALLY get legal charges on the surgeons, the hospital goers pay for it (Taxes from city used to pay for victims)
Then, maybe, you'd be right.
As long as police are essentially allowed to do what they want, when they want, however they want it,
yes we should put every cop who makes the tiniest mistake on trial. Great power, great responsibility and all that.
Further more, a police officer is the one thing essentially standing between law/order and chaos. A surgeon is just a health care professional. Sure, both are required for a functioning society but you're taught to trust police officers and when you need help from violent people, who are you going to go to?
If the police are the criminals, we have no order.
Note: This isn't even counting the 'gladiator' style battles they put prisoners in, the sheer amount of innocent people they kill, etc.
