Our 'System' at Work

We, the people, lost in Ferguson, and then N.Y. — not because the people took to the streets and smashed and burned and shot and looted, however mindless those activities were and made humanity seem. It was a greater loss, the further erosion of our rights and just superiority as sovereign citizens above government officials who are nothing more than our employees. In a system of justice that I know — and report on regularly — that lies and steals and cheats to get its man, I know, too, it protects its own with the same vigilance. And the lack of indictments were, to me, no exception. They were reminders that the system is broken and the world we live in is controlled.

What I personally took away from the explanation of how and why the grand jury came to its decision to not indict Officer Darren Wilson is that had he been anyone other than a police officer, he would likely be facing charges. The same is true of NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo.

Let’s be real. A grand jury isn’t a magical group of people who know all and see all; it is a group of people who get to see only the evidence the prosecuting attorney decides to show them. So if the prosecutor has an agenda to not prosecute, the evidence will reflect that agenda. And the grand jury will come back with the corresponding ruling. It’s that simple, and everything is supported by the government’s own statistics. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. attorneys prosecuted 162,000 federal cases in 2010. Grand juries declined to return an indictment in only 11 of them.

It really is an “us” and “them” thing now. And no matter what your ethnicity, we as citizens have now been reminded that to be them means they get treated differently than if they were us.

It’s sad. And what is worse is you have the mainstream media out there promoting this as either right or wrong, but both sides are calling these travesties a race issue and not seeing them for what they really are — miscarriages of justice, pure and simple.

Police agencies have paid out millions of dollars in civil liability claims across this country where bad police officers have killed, maimed or otherwise harmed the citizens they are supposed to protect. But few, if any, ever face criminal charges for their obviously criminal actions. If they are held civilly liable, they should be held criminally liable as well.

Every day, there is more evidence of corrupt police officers overstepping their bounds and abusing their authority. And there are more people facing false charges, stacked by scum-sucking prosecuting attorneys who just want a conviction. What a joke.

So what is the solution?

In our day and age of technology, there is no reason that every police officer shouldn’t be mandated to wear a personal recording device, live streaming to the public where it can be independently saved.

Also, we have to eliminate the immunity prosecutors and judges enjoy. With their protections gone, bad police officers will have no one to protect them, and the system will be taken back by the public it is supposed to serve.

We have to ensure our justice system blindly seeks justice and the corruption that now plagues it is extinguished.

I invite all righteous prosecutors, police officers, public defenders and truly unbiased judges to join me at the US~Observer as we continue our fight against everything that is wrong in the system. Join us as contributors and expose those who violate their oaths and harm the citizens.

We have to make sure that what happened in Ferguson and NY, and in every other city where the system has overstepped its bounds, doesn’t ever happen again.

That is something I am sure we can all agree on.
