Sorry, Jezebelle, with all humility, I apologize if I have offended you, for I know there are true exceptions. Whenever/wherever there is corruption, envy, covet-nous, and true evil, it goes on.

But it is happening throughout the world and most of us had no idea what was happening to people who didn't have unlimited resources or had ever run afoul of the law or knew those who did. I have personally experienced, and watched a friend of my parents go through what the fellows at Duke have gone through. I wrote off my parents' lifelong friend as a fluke, but sadly, it isn't. You can accuse anyone of anything in the police station and the lives of those who are caught in the web of deceit are ruined. RUINED. You may win but at a complete loss of everything you have and are.

Second mortgages, credit card max outs and what you get from the State and the Officers who refused to do their jobs is an apology -- and that's if you're lucky. If you're not, you get the Second mortgages, credit card max outs and you loved one sits in prison -- when there is absolutely no evidence just that "gut feeling." Well, when officers refuse to interview witnesses, arrest and ruin families, I'm sorry, Jezebelle, Duke isn't a fluke and neither were the two experiences I have first-hand knowledge of.

God knows my heart, and I mean no offense to you or any other law enforcement officer who has God's wisdom in his heart to know what is riding on his work, or what is riding on his future, if he's wrong -- and I'm not talking about here on earth.

I will grant you that miscarriages do occur, but they are not the norm, and they are not accepted by the hundreds of thousands of LE officers, detectives, investigators, prosecutors and deputy DAs in this country. There is a controlling ethic that permeates most of LE, although there are the rogue cops and DAs such as Liefong and Gottlieb preying on the public to make a name for themselves at any cost to individuals and society.

I'm just asking that people be careful with their rhetoric on this subject. It does nobody any good to be unaware that these cases do happen, but it also does nobody any good to believe that the entire system is corrupt everywhere because it most certainly is not. Another point to consider is that there is a difference between a mistake and the corruptions of deliberately railroading the innocent or turning a blind eye to the criminal acts of those favored by the LE officials for whatever reason. The system is run by human beings and no investigation and no prosecution is ever letter-perfect, but that is a far cry from deliberate corruption. Even with minor mistakes and oversights, we still manage to send a whole lot of bad, evil people to prison in the furtherance of justice and protection of the public.

When it comes to the activities of LE, I think that vigilance is a healthy and necessary process because of the powers we entrust LE with, but that does not and should not equate to suspicion or outright condemnation.
