Let's play a game! A situation is presented, you find the logical fallacy.
Give those neurons a good stretch and try this one:
A police officer is roughly defined as an individual hired by a given city
to provide general protection services and to maintain the jurisdictional
laws. The Chief of Police in Washington, D.C., proposes placing more
police officers on the night shift, so as to provide a greater presence of
police officers at the time the criminals are more active. The police
union strongly opposes this new strategy, and Thursday morning our police
officers plan to march on police headquarters to register their strong
disapproval.
Is this:
a. circular logic?
b. false causality? or
c. a serious semantic disconnect?
