I agree with ksen. The law enforcement class (police and prosecutors) are loathe to act against one of their own. It takes an extreme situation for them to even consider such activity. And when they do ... Mike Nifong spent a whole day in jail for his crimes. One whole fucking day. Bringing an indictment (not even a show trial or a suspended sentence but just an indictment) is more than they want to do to one of their own, even though they can indict anybody at any time. An indictment is simply the prosecutor saying "I accuse you" but passing the buck to a grand jury. And has been shown, grand juries almost always do what the prosecutors say, they are a rubber stamp. The prosecutor didn't want to prosecute a fellow member of his class.
As for the looting, we have protestors pulling looters out of shops and we have police mysteriously absent from wherever the looting is. It's not like the law enforcement cartel
has ever used any undercover agent provocateurs.
Really, this is bad news for everyone, as the police are already going out of control. Some might see this as a race issue that encompasses non-police into the elite class, but it really isn't. People of all races that aren't police are in greater danger as a result of this. This is not the
open season on black people that some may have hoped for.
