Profound ignorance abounds here as to the way things really go down around in the world.
I can give my own personal accounts about how I saw police sucking down nitrous oxide with hookers at many afterhours and then working in cahoots with rival party promoters to shut down other gigs [[or how they plant drugs on people, etc.), but it seems the same pig-headed, thick-skinned mentalities are going to think what they are going to think regardless of what evidence [[be it historical, be it cultural, be it recent and localized, be it personal) you provide for them [[and they would be just unimaginative enough to go pruning down this very post to the "pig-hearted thick-skinned mentalities" part and then try to direct it back at yours truly and call that wit.).
At least consider the following:
1.) Read beyond Malthus's and Ayn Rand's attempts to save "mankind' from "lack of surplus" and "overcrowding" with their theories, and see how they go far enough to justify the idea of letting poverty go unaided, and allowing certain areas of misery and "necessary evil" to flourish [[even with little pushes-after all there was a thread one started about whether there was proof that federal agencies were involved with bringing drugs into impoverished regions, and although I can't seem to find it for the time being, I believe certain older contributors remember it, and it would be interesting to see if they will make the effort to track it down and offer us a link...yes?).
2.) Look at all the recent bloody police brutalities that have gone down within a year's time alone and how the press trims away certain suspicious aspects with each re-telling.
3.) Read this article http://www.democracynow.org/2015/5/1...ictims_of_pasteven if it happens in Chicago, you can believe it is happening profoundly elsewhere [[do I have to dredge up stories I've heard personally about police in New Orleans, L.A., New York, or Boston-like when the PD were coercing junkies to pin false accusations on a guy for the murder of Mrs. Charles Stuart?). It's only by efforts of the F.B.I. [[and maybe many, many years of complaints filed) that member of the K.K.K. were rooted out of the penal systems in Florida.
4.) Consider heavily that once certain precedents get set like these you see how the margins are open for any number of things to happen. I can bring up the positive as well as the over-whelming negative about the police, but just who do any of you folks think you are p*ssywaxing by putting cops on a pedestal?
