But to be expected from a supporter of gangsters.

Law Enforcement can function as the biggest criminal gang of them all. They do murder people (sometimes, some of them have, although not nearly all of them are outright murderers).

Police have been convicted of dealing drugs.

Domestic violence among LEO's is not at all uncommon (compared to the rest the population, on average, it is much more frequent).

Police agencies in various locales around the nation have taken advantage of civil forfeiture laws to the extent that it does equate with outright theft -- roadway banditry under color of authority. Those laws may be yet "on the books" and presently in effect, but in application (if not from very inception) civil forfeiture laws which empower law enforcement to seize assets prior to trial and conviction, are on their face contrary to a fundamental U.S. Constitutional principle.

The trials have been delayed -- but not delayed by agreement of defendants and defense attorneys (rights to speedy trial not waived) so in this case (as many others) the Constitutional right to speedy trial is being abridged.

I do not support the criminal aspects of some (many?) law enforcement officers and org.'s, yet I still do support rule of law, regardless.

How about we round up the law enforcement agencies functioning as "criminal gangs", throw them all in jail (guilt by association, under charges of "conspiracy") set $1,000,000 bail for each of them (regardless), hold them under those terms for months prior to finally lowering bail amount to a quarter-million or so, then prohibit them (under penalty of law) from associating with other leo "criminal gang" members until after holding trials for each of them -- and those trials delayed (delayed beyond statute, and contrary to spirit and letter of the Constitution)? If laws were to be evenly applied (what's good for one gang is good for another) could we all then say justice was being served?

Suck on that for a while, gator-breath.
