Coincidence

No bitch and sometimes it's not. It's not a coincidence you don't care whether or not she's fucking the retard and you likely KNOW she's fucking the retard from seeing the situation from 3rd person perspective. You don't care and you want to punish me for EVEN DARING TO CARE.
Hym "I'm acting in accordance with my own will. It's no coincidence that that the double standards exists. My crime is caring whether or not she's fucking the retard and taking steps to catch her. That is all. You're acting like a wo.an who gets caught cheating except by proxy."

Perhaps someone (benefitted from) wanted newcomers to be given more of a chance than the old school officers, to be thought by the public to be safer and somehow more trustworthy.

Coinciditis

An increasingly common disease that causes sufferers to die suddenly. First noticed in 2021, experts are baffled as to the cause. Some think it could be a virus but anecdotal evidence suggests it is self inflicted by participating in medical experiments. Coinciditis most often strikes normally healthy people in their 20's to 40's.
