Re: You couldn't ..

or do they become the next big news story when it turns out that the "dumb" criminal left a deliberate trail to lure some of Seattle's hard-working public guardians* into an ambush that resulted in a bloodbath and culminated in a huge explosion that devastated the neighbourhood when the gas-filled house went bang?

Does that happen with enough frequency to warrant the belief that it's anything but an extremely remote possibility?

Besides that, a gas explosion in a house - even one that destroys the house and damages a large number of houses in the immediate area (to the level that it's better to demolish than repair) won't necessarily kill anyone not even the people in the house at the time.

You rarely hear about the ones who do good work, but somehow the bad ones get plastered all over the internet...

There's a couple reasons why it's rare to hear of good cops or cops doing a good job. The first is obviously that the press want to report death and despair, the second is more obvious - a cop doing a proper job, acting in a fully just manner, is extremely rare.
