slippery slope.
They once fabricated evidence, and lied on the stand to get the child molester off the street and I didnt give a shit.
They than fabricated evidence, and lied on the stand to get my friends and loved ones off the street and I didnt give a shit.
Than they came for me and there was no one left with shit to give.
It is the job of law enforcement to gather evidence, and the job of prosecutors to work toward conviction. I dont want a corrupted legal system where LEO act as the gatherer of evidence, judge, and executioner.
"protecting the children" has long been used as the excuse to give up liberty and freedom. Too many people have been wrongly convicted in the US (
312 found by the innocence project alone)....lets not make that worse by condoning institutionalized corruption.
