Well, Leprechaun makes my point well.
That is the very thinking that necessitates oversight over the police, the idea that democracy and due process are the enemy. Now, when cops get caught, as in Yonkers, murdering a fellow, over a parking space in front of the cop's family pizza shop, suddunly, who do the go to? A defense lawyer, and still comlain the world is quick to judge them.
I, for one, never organised a riot, however, as is my right and obligation as a citizen I have been among organisers of non-violent protests that were violently set upon by police officers, who by the way, obviously ommitted the 1st amendment when they swore to uphold the Constitution.
As to my agenda? Not to compkicated... I want to live in a country where a citizen does not fear to be brutalised by police officers on the basis of his or her race or class. I realise that some citizens concider that to be an endorsemnet of totalitarinaism, well, that is why we keep struggling for justice. I prefer Clorachauns, my self... better for the craic.
