TV Detectives

AITOOW wishes these clowns would have a little humility. You would think that after say their thousandth incorrect assumption about who the actual perpetrator was that a slight measure of doubt may creep into their smug know it all demeanor. Whether it's Law and Order or CSI (et al), they always accuse the wrong person to begin with. I'm not saying they are dumb (although I can't recall a top level university alum among them and all the people who couldn't get into college in my home town became cops) but could you remain a little apprehensive about tearing up someones life. Are you prenaturally wired to try and tie up the case as soon as possible? Do you get a bonus if you churn 'em and burn 'em. Are any of your "gut" impulses founded in applicable experience? While this is done to fill an hour of dramady, I have a sneaking suspicion it is even worst in real life.
