Law enforcement is akin to the Catholic Church in this, if you do not remove the abusive ones completely, they don’t stop being a danger to the innocent public. They move on to perpetrating more damaging malfeasance while continuing to abuse and degrade their authority.
Forgiveness does not stop them. Covering up for them does not make it go away. Bad cops, like bad priests, should be thrown out onto the street without further access to their prior uniform, prosecuted, convicted, and punished by the full extent of the law.
Anything else is endorsing and abetting their crimes against the people they are sworn to protect.

The folks who made the paperwork “errors” resulting in the officer ultimately being charged with a lesser crime should be brought up on charges too. Anyone who makes it easier for officers of the law to skate out of the consequences of their violent crimes should be brought up on RICO charges.

City to Pay $5.75 Million Over Death of Mentally Ill Inmate at Rikers Island
treatment provided to Mr. Ballard by the city’s Correction Department and by a city contractor, Corizon Health, was “so incompetent and inadequate as to shock the conscience.”
The commission, a prison watchdog agency, said it found that Mr. Ballard, 39, was deprived of medication for his diabetes and schizophrenia, and even running water in his cell.
“Had Ballard received adequate and appropriate medical and mental health care and supervision and intervention when he became critically ill, his death would have been prevented,” the commission said.
The city medical examiner ruled that Mr. Ballard’s death was a homicide.

The only thing more disgusting than the actions of the murderous unfit-to-be-officers-of-the-law thugs is the feces that people are spewing about how it is always the fault of the victim for not cooperating with the police or -even worse- the vile spewed by those who are trying to twist this tragedy into an attack on the validity of the Black Lives Matter movement. So some black cops killing a white child prove that their is no systematic racism in this country? No, try again white trash. Try again. You’re response disproves your own point.

It is progress that these two violent thugs have been charge with murder and not the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Next thing we need to start doing as a society?
Charge any and all officers on the scene who do not offer or procure medical help for those injured by law enforcement with 1st degree murder, because they are -in effect- sentencing those who have been shot to die.

It doesn’t matter what the pig’s defense is, this is murder. Pure and simple. No cause for it. No justification for it. Just unwarranted violence and the ending of an innocent life.
Until officers are charged, convicted, and sentence for their violent crimes like anyone else who they are unfit to uphold the law.

Charlotte is Drowning in Systematic Injustice
Some say we must condemn the unrest in Charlotte. As a pastor and as an organizer, I do not condone violence. I suspect that much of it has been instigated by provocateurs with their own agenda. But to condemn the uprising in Charlotte would be to condemn a man for thrashing when someone is trying to drown him.
Whatever righteous indignation the public can muster ought to be directed toward the systems that created a situation where a man can drive to the bus stop to pick up his son and end up dead before he gets there.
I am a pastor. I will not condemn grief. But I was trained as a lifeguard, and I learned a long time ago that when people are drowning, their instincts can kill them and anyone who tries to help them. If a lifeguard can get to a drowning person, the first thing the lifeguard says is, “Stop struggling. Let me hold you up in this water, and we can get to the shore together.”
The riots in Charlotte are the predictable response of human beings who are drowning in systemic injustice. We must all pray that no one else gets hurt. But we must understand why this is happening.
Ta-Nahisi Coates writes: “A society that protects some people through a system of schools, government-backed home loans, and ancestral wealth but can only protect you with the club of criminal justice has either failed at enforcing its intentions or has succeeded at something much darker.” The unrest in Charlotte is not about black people hating police. It’s about black, white and brown people rising up against systems of injustice that shield officers who kill but leave millions defenseless.

Kenyon: Lebanon Pot Policy a Bust
Under the 2013 New Hampshire law that was finally implemented this year, it’s likely that Sevigny and Cardinale would be eligible to use medicinal marijuana, which they preferred as a benign alternative to prescription painkillers. But getting a medical marijuana license can be a lengthy process. Cardinale’s situation was further complicated because he receives his health care at the VA Medical Center in White River Junction. Since federal law still doesn’t allow for the medical use of marijuana, his VA physician couldn’t prescribe it.
…Twomey contacted Lebanon prosecutor Ben LeDuc, who was willing to reduce the charges to a violation. Cardinale and Sevigny would still have to each pay a $500 fine, but they’d avoid a criminal record.
…It was probably the best that Sevigny and Cardinale could have hoped for. As long as Lebanon cops continue their war on drugs, LeDuc is in a tough spot. He’s a one-man prosecutor’s office, with more than 1,000 cases (not all drug-related) a year coming across his desk. He doesn’t have a lot of time to exercise discretion.
After taking the job last year, LeDuc made it his policy to offer first-time offenders the same deal that he gave Cardinale and Sevigny.
…In the upcoming months, Twomey will help draft proposed legislation to revise the state’s marijuana laws, which has become something of an annual exercise that dies in the state Senate.
