I suppose that’s one lens to look at it with.
Why don’t we just stop prosecuting crimes altogether? Seems like the best way to prevent innocent people from being convicted.
Don't be disingenuous.
Don’t shift the topic and I won’t. Kyle needs to go to jail. This is just OJ. Guilty as fuck.
Welcome to 1950s America, conservative judges and juries bending over backwards to let white murderers walk. If we break the Justice system to counter them though they don't lose. They win. They will use that to cause even more havoc on the poor and minority victims the police serve up.
Like you said, it has been going on for over 74 years. Time to change it. Thanks for agreeing.
I'm not agreeing with you. You can't just choose this one or that one to use expanded powers on. That's going to be up to local judges and prosecutors. The same ones still trying to destroy minority communities. That's who you'd be giving these powers to, not some super team of untouchables.
So what is your proposed solution? Or are you one of those people who just complains about inequality for the feeling.
