Was thinking about how ironic it is that a community that cant trust any police or judicial process or authority, is now relying on and supporting the MD STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
What if all of a sudden ALL States Atty offices and DA's started indicting ALL dirty cops, ALL wall street banksters, ALL
bizzznessssmen as Carlin called them, with their crimes.
What would happen if all of a sudden it wasnt black people and latino people who had to run from the authorities?
