I remember hearing about that one back in the day. My point though, the police generally are unaccountable, local leaders are themselves corrupt and therefore unwilling, but above that mostly unable, to check police departments.

Any time a reformer gets elected for a prosecuting attorney, or occassionally sherriff, the old boy network mobilizes to take them out, very aggressively, not always successfully to remove them, but it does stop the reform from spreading.

The police, and courts, are captured by an aristocracy raised to have nothing but contempt for the other tribes, and all of those below them in social status. We have elections but we don’t use them, most prosecutors and judges run unopposed, and both parties being the same is never more true than it is with them. These same people run under/with a party because that’s where they can win, many would be with the other team if that team were in control in that area.

Look at the minneapolis prosecutors, they can get tough with poor people, but federal agents execute their citizens under false pretense, on video, we have irrefutable evidence, and they refuse to cover the shield of law over their own citizens. They are not our friends, and the only way they will do anything is if they are forced to, and then they will make a perfunctionary effort to say they did, and throw the case if they can.
