10. Perhaps Irrantional, but very Biological

How many times have we read about an animal that died trying to save it's offspring? How many times have we heard about a man or woman who died trying to save their children? Every year, someone gets lost, kidnapped, or disappears and search parties fan out to try and find them, often risking life and limb in the effort.

To paraphrase an old saying. There is no greater love than a parent who dies trying to protect a child.

The Police/Fire/EMS were standing around idly as the child died in the fire. They felt unable to help. The man may have died, and may not have. Tasing the man after he was in handcuffs is the definition of abuse, and torture.

Isn't this the part where you are supposed to post the picture of the cop stealing the milk from the family in Watertown?
