So who polices the police?

Yesterday, there was a story in the Seattle Post Intelligencer about the Tacoma police chief and allegations concerning his alleged abuse of his soon to be ex-wife. Today apparently, the chief decided to kill himself and his wife. Guess those allegations weren't just allegations. Unfortunately though, the chief won't be spending time in the Big House since he's dead now. Latest news reports have his wife in critical condition at present. I hope she lives.

In all seriousness though, it makes me wonder about the mental health of these folks who are the enforcers of the law.
