I do not doubt your story at all. I myself have witnessed these kinds of abuses of power. But institutionalized corruption always starts from the top down. We need to demand honesty, fairness, and legality from all our local governments, including the police departments.
With that being said, blanket statements about ALL cops is counterproductive. Nor is it true. Its not every single one of them. Corrupt cultures in police departments need to be brought into line. The bad eggs from the top down need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law when they commit heinous acts. I believe that should be the focus.
I agree. I have several close friends who are judges and I hold them in high regard. I have also had several judges removed from the bench for judicial misconduct in the past. One of my most useful reference texts was the Rules for Attorneys in all 50 states.
I now work more in prayer and forgiveness than in my own strength. People have forgotten that they are accountable to God and nothing is hidden from Him. It all works out in the end.
