In the name of avoiding prolonged periods of litigation, and supporting equality between labor and management, the Court upheld the arbitrator's awards, and ruled that the two state troopers charged in criminal conduct were entitled to their jobs, although, in accordance to the arbitrator's terms, they wouldn't get back pay. Cases such as this reveal not just the limits of judicial power, but how powerful police really are. Men who have committed felonies are stopping, citing, and arresting people for traffic violations and other offenses. When a so-called citizen crosses the barriers imposed by the law, that person loses his job and his freedom. It can't be.
Prison is the prerogative of the powerless and the poor.
For those who serve the system, crimes are just minor inconveniences. For those who don't, crimes are invitations to hell.
