....the law has pratically emasculated the cops and the prosecution....they don't even dare call peterson a suspect now in fear of reprecussions...

this is what you get when the leftist take over the benches and the justice system be damned...

Your posts are well thought out and in order-form as to conclude that the cops hands are tied, which you my dear are correct..........

Two people whom we can thank for a lot of hand-tying are William Brennan (p-tooey...just saying the name leaves a bad taste in my mouth) and Thurgood Marshall, both now deceased.

But then, these men and their ilk on the Supreme Court did so very MUCH to make our country what it was in the 60's and 70's, and afterward. My favorite demonstration of the greatness of that era's Supreme Court was when they concluded that if a seedy hotel was within X feet of an interstate ramp, then everything that was done in that hotel "affected interstate commerce"--meaning the federal courts had jurisdiction.

Do you find it warm in there, Bill and Thurgood?
