    I've already addressed the why in this thread.
  Fortunately, I know I'm not cut out for law enforcement - that's why I 
don't do that for a living.  I work with lots of cops, I like lots of 
cops, and we've all agreed out loud we are damn glad we don't have the 
other's job.

   Meanwhile, the only one in Torchwood with a prayer at a ***ual 
harassment suit is Ianto, and I don't see that happening.
