Better ten guilty men walk, than ONE innocent man be wrongly imprisoned. If this results in victims then sorry, but their rights are no greater than the man who is falsely accused, the difference being that they are victimized by the criminals, in the case of the man falsely imprisoned we are all of us the criminals and HE is the victim. Justice is never served by injustices.
At least part of what I was suggesting was that trying to blame this travesty on the police is an, um, injustice. Laws are not written by the police. Cases are not prosecuted by the police alone, there need to be prosecuting attorneys. Decisions are made by judges. But the person to whom I was responding was wanting to sue the police, and made no mention of the others involved in this disaster.
On a larger scale, what is your view about police and laws the individual officer considers unjust? If I am obliged to enforce a law that I disagree with, should I resign? Would justice or representative government be well served if the Law Enforcement Officers refused to enforce laws they disagreed with?
If justice is never served by injustices, then we will never have justice (until I am Tsar).
