the problem is outrage by anecdote. It's clearly awful, but people then draw conclusions from it.

I can find an anecdote of the awfulness of anything that is big enough.

You say anecdote, and I say more common occurrence.

Is there a specific number of instances that must occur before we are supposed to become unnerved?

I want the EPA reigned in. How many more instances must occur before I am allowed to support that position?

The cop analogy was actually a good one. I want cops reigned in as well.

Only conclusion I see is concern about expanding power of an organization which is currently and indisputably a
busing them.

Which is a valid statement to make.

And it will be quite humorous to see you try to squirm out an arguement that it's isn't.

If there is really a flaw, the beef should be with the state department for assigning a invalid permit.

I fail to understand the point of permitting in a world where it's my fault that the regulatory agency dropped the ball.
