The hopes of a better society shaped by the influences of technological achievement are again dashed by a retrograde political system. More than 40 convictions have already been overturned because of police corruption and criminality. The widening scandal now threatens to siphon off money specifically allocated for health care. Don't get me started about Rodney King, racial profiling, the recently exonerated Illinois death row inmates, or the thousands of tragedies that have occurred when black people have come in contact with the police. I will no longer accept explanations that the officers who kill, frame, beat-up, embezzle, and threaten are inexperienced, inadequately trained, or suffering from obscure medical conditions.
Cops only represent the greater society in which they operate.
However, the wanton criminality and excessive use of force against black people and the absurd justifications now being used to defend this behavior indicts the majority of the law enforcement community. I think we need to face the cold truth that the majority of citizens in America have neither the moral or ethical foundation to do the right thing. As pessimistic as this sounds, I still propose a solution. The resulting embarrassment to all cops is that they are lacking in the wits and intellect to resolve problems. The Black World Today.
