I guess I'm spoiled living where I do. The police around here pretty much get it.

This part I completely understand. I've got a cousin who is a cop, and he occasionally shares with me some of the gruesome details that he thinks I can handle, but I can tell from the way the job has affected him that he sees an ugly part of life that most of us are sheltered from.
Even so, hit-and-run is hit-and-run and the victim was never "asking for it."
