What I Did After Police Killed My Son

11. Our Government has placed the police above the law. That is what we have learned

For a short while I thought that when the justice system broke down at the state level, as in Ferguson and now in NY, we could rely on the Federal Govt to administer some kind of accountability. But then I did some research and I found out that when it comes to Killer Cops, that is not the case. It is extremely rare for the Federal Govt to convict a cop.

We are treated to all kinds of excuses 'he smoked pot' eg when it is clear they cannot claim their lives were in danger. The demonization of the victim begins.

Watch how gingerly all of our elected officials address these murders by police? Has even one of them just spoken out boldly about the FACTS that are available for anyone who cares to spend a little time finding them?

What I found out was that the militarization of the police, eg, is the work of Congress and Homeland Security.

The cops view the American people as the enemy and it appears our government likes it that way.

So cops will continue to murder US Citizens with no accountability until the ENTIRE SYSTEM is changed.

Wilson's excuse for the murder of Michael Brown was 'I followed my training'. That was supposed to assuage the anger of the people.

What it must do is to take his word for it, that his training is a huge threat to public safety obviously. And then begin the process of reforming the entire system.

But will that happen? We'll see, but I doubt it. We will hear platitudes so long as the protests continue, but behind the scenes, I doubt there is any agreement that they system THEY set up, needs to be changed at all.
