2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMy take on the damn outrageous violence in our Criminal Justice system.
If it needs to be moved to GD, I'll close it.
Black Lives Matter. African Americans are regularly executed by police fire in the street rather than tried in a court of law, regularly being given longer prison sentences for minor crimes, and regularly harassed by the police.
The MSM tries to gloss over it by pushing idiots that are harping about black on black crime. Uh, it's horrible when criminals shoot each other, but if you get murdered by the "justice" system, that's a whole other bag of wax.
The Justice system should be here for all of us, not to execute all of us if we don't conform to white prejudiced society.
I'm white, and I recognize it.
People point at China - we've executed more people in the last 20 years than any country on the planet via extrajudicial violence. No trial, just summary execution by those that deem themselves judge, jury and executioner.
Let's not even stop addressing the myriad things that need reform, but yes, the criminal justice system is out of control and criminal itself.
And don't even get me started with how the "justice" system treats transgendered people.
Couldn't agree more

(39,961 posts)that it sucks to get beaten in the streets, or know people that have been bashed while minding their own business, it also sucks that WAY too many African Americans are being bashed and killed by the damn police.
That is supposed to protect!?
What the hell are they protecting!?
It certainly isn't the people in the community they are supposed to be protecting and serving, unless a bullet dinner is great service.
