Greetings good citizen, I personally ignore a wide slice of what passes for 'entertainment' coming from the corporate owned media and one category I ardently avoid is the BS 'Police Procedural' category.
Bad enough our entire 'justice system' is a sham but to have the entertainment industry provide the public with a completely inaccurate picture of how it works does NOBODY a favor.
But wait, just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, there's that staple of Fox News' stable of 'reality shows' COPS...billed by Fox as the longest running show, ever.
What do you suppose is wrong with the people who are tasked with 'entertaining' us that they are so FIXATED on our BADLY BROKEN justice system?
I happened to be surfing last night and landed on TV's 'longest running reality show' when another matter caused me to abandon the remote to do something else.
I saw maybe five minutes of the program that was airing and what I saw had me frothing at the mouth!
Why?The behavior displayed by these 'volunteer entertainers' [while not scripted, the 'featured' P.D.'s have to provide footage that gives the viewer a 'positive image' of the law enforcement community...which must comprise the bulk of the show's viewers.] WOULD get them EXILED!
Probably just me but I watched the episode the whole time thinking the wrong people are in cuffs!
So it is that viewers [likely other cops] are routinely treated to the 'meat & potatoes' of law enforcement, busts for minor possession that they 'parlay' into fodder for FOR PROFIT PRISONS!
Seriously good citizen, the jobs situation is WAY OUT OF CONTROL!
When we consider what's driving the 'epidemic' of poverty and crime the real victims are the people being preyed upon by a system that has NO OTHER USE FOR THEM!
In this our legislators [and their 'appointees'] are both culpable and responsible.
Without oversight, the feckless have created a 'fantasy land' where 'Justice' prevails as the victims of our criminal social system are routinely jailed for pursuing the only jobs available to them.
Yet another hobby horse I used to flog regularly comes trotting out of the closet after long years of neglect.
DESPERATION is a TERRIBLE THING.
WHO 'makes' the desperate?
THOSE WHO DENY THEM WHAT THEY ARE ENTITLED TO! [A job, a home, a place in the community and regular meals are what EVERY HUMAN NEEDS! Yet your 'inner Libbie' says they don't need any of those things, they just WANT them! Well, those who can't distinguish between 'want & need' will become successful candidates for EXILE!]
[Let's NOT get into a contest of WHO deserves WHAT, according to warped Libertarian sensibilities none of us deserves anything we can't PAY FOR, a truly twisted bit of logic considering ALL MONEY IS FUNNY!]
Not to keep beating a dead horse but the question remains...HOW DO THEY KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS CRAP?
And the answer, just as obviously is BECAUSE YOU LET THEM DO IT!
They [those who pretend to govern in our name] WON'T STOP UNTIL YOU STOP THEM!
How do we stop the minions of the belly-crawlers?
We shut this place down tight!
Nothing moves and nothing happens until we clean this mess up!
Trouble is most of you haven't got a clue where to begin so when the feckless few rally you to go out and 'take back our country', you're gonna find yourself attacking people just like you, who want the 'madness' to end.
Word to the wise, if somebody knocks on your door and says there is going to be a meeting down the street, it's not 'US'. It's them and depending on how well armed they are you may not return...so go yeah, yeah and ignore them.
That's why we 'strike'...you don't go anywhere and you don't DO anything [except stopping 'strike-breakers'.]
IF they are [and sometimes they only think this] well-armed and demand that you attend...you might have to go but if they tell you that you have to take part in a raid, tell 'em to f-off.
First three days, no violence [probably no capitulation either.]
On the FOURTH day it's flat tires and broken windows.
On the seventh day the 'lynchings' begin. If you aren't a part of the solution then you're part of the problem...and defying the strike comes at a heavy price.
THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS, the strike is TOTAL.
Yeah, people are going to die if caregivers don't show up but if we leave things the way they are, the infirm are 'better off dead.'
For that reason you may want to make it a point to bid any loved ones farewell this Independence Day [7/4]
Verily, there's no easy way to be free and we have given the feckless a free hand for far too long.
Understand good citizen, a world without Justice isn't worth living in...and Fox's 'Cops' shows us precisely what kind of world we're living in!
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
