Nobody should be surprised. We give the worst people power.
Junebug, do you think police departments should root out white supremacists?
Happens to white people too:

We're always gonna have racist people, but we don't have to keep a racist justice system that gives those racists a license to kill. Somehow cops have the legal authority to kill mentally ill people laying in the street, leashed dogs, bystanding parents, suspects running away, teens driving away from a party, etc. Judges have the legal authority to put jurors in jail for 10 days for being 30 minutes late, to put a teenager in Rikers for hypothetically stealing a back pack. We give convicted rapists 6 months and thieves years. Our justice system is fucking broken foundationally and there aren't enough shitty lawyers in the world to defend it.
This clause is just fundamentally untrue. There is an almost-infinite supply of shitty lawyers.
Well we know there are enough lawyers on this board to breathlessly defend the legal rationality of every fucked up act of injustice committed by an officer or judge that's reported here.
Not really. Most lawyers on this board are not defending the police or the courts. But don't let me stop you from lashing out.
