(18,124 posts)I stand corrected, in relation to you. Yet due process, presumption of innocence.... a laughable joke when it comes to minorities. I've sat in court rooms and just listened. Pathetic what is done to people who are not advised of their rights or just don't know or understand. I was one of those at one time. Happened just once. You can accuse but until due process, harsh unfair sentences based strictly on race are not the norm, I maintain that the justice system is skewed toward racial characteristics and having lots of money.
The police and citizens are getting away with murder, beatings, thefts and due process is usually denied to the victims of those types of crime. Police and their conduct is on trial in america and if the system was fair and balanced a lot of the misconduct would be penalized, which in most cases is not, these days. Look I know this system it's all you have and you must have a way to judge wrongdoers and the innocent, it's just not fair. The police deserve due process, true, but they really don't need it because they usually are not charged.
You're a lawyer so you're very well versed in making the obvious confusing to make someone look uninformed and ignorant. The law in this country is for a certain racial/economic group to take advantage of and it has always been applied unfairly in many, many cases.
You can keep the faith maybe you're one to change things. I've lost all faith in our justice system . When it metes out fair and balanced verdicts on any level, then I can join your ranks of blind faith.
