If only Trumpists' outrage at injustice wasn't feigned for hyperpartisan reasons. We really could make America a better place. We could make the constitution actually mean something for everyone, not just the well-off.
There are so many poor criminal defendants, especially minorities, who are railroaded to conviction. So many plead guilty to drug crimes they did not commit because the alternative is spending months or a year in jail, and losing everything; apartment, possessions, employment. Everything. (How do I know? Because there have been efforts to test backlogs of drug samples and in some places like Texas, about a third of the field tests leading to arrest were FALSE positives, because the field tests are crap). Or maybe they did something wrong but the prosecutor throws everything imaginable at them, and the jury concludes that at least some of it must be true and convicts. or maybe it's in one of those states that intentionally and massively underfunds its public defense system so even if the lawyer cares deeply he simply cannot give the case the attention it needs, not even if he puts in 18 hour days.
There's an endless litany of abuses. Cops grabbing a black dude, searching him, and if he has nothing tell him to go. (What's he gonna do? Sue the police? Virtually impossible). But if he has something, he just makes a bunch of **** up in the police report to make it sound like it was a proper stop, followed by a patfrisk, which then provided probable cause. Hell this kind of thing has happened to me as a teenager. They only play by the book when they're on tape and they know it (there even are exceptions to that). They'll simply go through your pockets. Resist? They'll beat you down and/or taze you, then charge you with resisting arrest and disorderly.
You lot don't care about any of that.
You never post about it, let alone start a thread.
You don't care about justice at all. All you care about is defending Team Trump.
