Judge Declares Mistrial In Richard Combs Case
Motherfukcer…
If our justice system has this much trouble convicting a man of murdering in cold blood then it simply is not capable of delivering justice to anyone. Why bother with courts? Just let the police be judge, jury and executioner already. IT’s not like that’s not what is already the societally accepted norm…
Our justice system is so fucked up. If this is going to tbe the way we treat murderers with badges why don’t we just own up to the fact that the police do not have to follow the laws?
Seriously, if we as a society are not going to impose consequences on officers of the law we should own up to. Just make it legal for them to kill whoever they want, whenever they want? Oh wait… It pretty much already is that way…..
