In a recent Wall Street Journal article, prosecutor Glenn McGovern writing about the recent shooting of two prosecutors in Texas asked, "Who will protect the protectors?" He wrote:
Working to make America less dangerous can be dangerous. The shocking murders of justice-system officials this year in Texas and Colorado are only among the most recent grim reminders of an everyday threat.
The article brings up an obvious question: Does anyone feel protected by police and prosecutors? Better yet, it seems appropriate to ask: Who will protect innocent citizens from the predations of police and prosecutors hellbent on framing innocent people for crimes, sometimes even "crimes" that never were committed?
This is not a superfluous question. The vast majority of people who have any interaction with an on-duty police officer do so under duress. Either they are stopped for a traffic violation or are being arrested or are being ordered around. In extreme situations, they are on the receiving end of abuse, either during a home invasion (called a "no-knock raid") or an unpleasant encounter on the street.

This a very good question.
ReplyDeleteAfter the Fort Hood killing of 13 soldiers it seems nothing will be done to the criminals , but the victims will suffer.
Years ago if this happened , the military would give you choice , hanging or firing squad.
We have become a nation of idiots with a leader the same. We are now weaker than we have ever been since this country was formed.
All of the muslim criminals have gotten away with murder , because our so called leader is a muslim.
Sorry I ,just puked thinking about it.
The marathon killings weren't an act of terrorist activity , "just don't jump to conclusions." ( that's what Obama said)

ReplyDeleteF obammy. It was an act of terror so it goes to follow, whoever did it, IS A TERRORIST. Which one and which org. are they affiliated with is the question.
With the policies that obammy begins, he could be labelled as one himself.
The only thing more scary than obammy is if Biden were to become president.
