Under Monarchy, the 'guard' was employed by the crown and operated with 'impunity' thanks to the quid pro quo of, We protect the king so the king protects Us.
Modern 'civilian' police forces are still comprised of patronage and 'legacy'. If your ancestor was a member of the Brotherhood, then you got made.
Disturbing how closely the (alleged) forces of justice resemble the criminal organizations they blame the courts for continuing to thrive.
It is these fundamental flaws in the justice system that leads society to question the competence of the people PRETENDING to manage our affairs.
The point of today's post is not the corrupt core of capitalism but the crucial trust deficit Institutionalized Corruption fosters society-wide.
Difficult to determine which is more disturbing, a cop that was ignorant of the fact that killing a suspect in custody was a violation of the very laws the officer is SWORN to uphold or the Chief's decision to 'fire' the officers involved rather than having them arrested for the MURDER they just committed?
Does ANYONE know what happened to the 'fake twenty' that initiated the senseless strangulation of a man denied a trial by a moron with a gun and a badge? A man with an unshakable belief that he wouldn't be prosecuted for the murder he committed?
Just as disturbing is why NOBODY moved to stop this. That is how far the glue of society has eroded. No-one even attempted to stop the murderer because they feared being killed and having it 'officially ignored'.
STOP
How far is TOO FAR?
Civilization operates on TRUST. The only reason we don't kill one another on sight is a tacit agreement to 'trust' each other.
When that 'trust' devolves into a quid pro quo arrangement between the branches of the justice system that places the public on the outside looking in, the system is WORTHLESS.
In case any of you were wondering, these are precisely the circumstances the Founders forewarned us of when a society is 'overdue' for a revolt.
COVID be damned, when those who pretend to protect the public's interests unleash murder upon the populace, the time has come to 'purge' the corrupt power structure.
The key flaw in any 'system of government' is allowing the self-interested to control the justice system.
The law, to be 'just', MUST treat all who agree to live under it 'equally'.
It is only since Morning in America that Cops have become 'immunized' against murder, something NOBODY voted for.
What was the Chief thinking? [Probably quick, get this idiot out of here before I lose MY job!]
What 'brick wall' has the public run into? There is NOTHING they can do about the mayor/governor [Who sic'd the Guard on the rioters last night.]
Can't remove THEIR incompetent asses until the next election and neither one of them can be prosecuted for crimes committed under their watch!
Says a lot about a system when the politicians start using the publicly funded police force as their personal guard.
What's the 'take away' here, Headcount?
Time to play shoot first and ask questions later. That badge has officially become a target. Aim for the head because the bastards clipped us for body armor.
Good hunting! [Kill or BE killed is the law of the jungle. The next victim of police violence could be YOU or someone you love!]

Being white doesn't protect you, it just means your 'extrajudicial murder' won't make the news.

When the few pretend to be above the law NOBODY gets 'justice' and as the axiom tells us without Justice THERE CAN BE NO PEACE!
