Psalm, you and those like you that masquerade as Patriotic conservatives are pitiful. Like true liberals, you bash cops in a knee jerk reaction and give perps the benefit of the doubt. You put your blind anti-cop bias on a long stick. Go away and post on Huffington or DailyKos...you will find plenty of cop bashers there.
Patriotism involves the unqualified support of government thugs that seriously injure innocent people? You learn something new everyday.
I don’t bash cops per se.
I do bash violent offenders, whether they have wriggled their way into a uniform or not. I used to be paid for it.
Your comments on criminal procedure reveal a nadir of ignorance and bias that would see you removed from a jury for cause if the voir dire was minimally competent and if you answered the questions truthfully.
BTW - a competent PROSECUTOR would strike you for cause. Jurors who opine like you give grounds for appeal.
If I can think of any words more forceful than ‘ignorant’ or ‘obtuse’ or ‘oblivious’ to describe your grasp of criminal law and procedure, I may post back to you again. On the other hand, it would be a waste of pixels.
Thank God we are moving to the Mexican system where cops decide who is guilty and there is no reason to ever question them.
