Why does the phrase, “These are good people.” bug me so much?

I keep hearing this on the news (CNN, not so much on BBC) and I've heard some friends and family repeat this. It really bothers me. I think it's because 1st, why do we need to be told this? Does someone think we thought they're bad people? And, besides, what does whether they are good people have to do with them being protected and evacuated anyway?

Thoughts?

yeah,

I'm here in Los Angeles and we could easily be in the same situation as the Gulf... one 7.0 earthquake on the Newport -Inglewood Fault and we'll be cut off from the world.

I promise you no one will be using the expression, "these people."
