There is far too much evidence LT for me to post to be honest.

'Legal Evidence' is NOT the 'be all and end all' LT, nor is it infallible - as the dozens of PROVEN innocent men still serving life sentences in the USA (and other countries) attests, as do those cases of belatedly freed and pardoned wrongly convicted 'murderers' such as ex-World Champion boxer, Ruben 'The Hurricane' Carter - himself a victim of the most appalling and blatant racial victimisation by a police officer.

No Judicial system - anywhere - is free from corruption, because such a system, like all systems, relies on the scrupulous fairness, impartiality and honesty of MAN, and that, I am afraid, is one rather big 'ASK'.

From my perspective, 'Empirical Evidence - that evidence collated by my senses - is evidence, and I personally trust my own logic and powers of judgement based upon the overwhelming and wholly convincing wealth of empirical evidence pertaining to this issue, than I do ANY Court or 'Official Report' anywhere in the world.

I think that it must be well known on here, that I am NOT some anti-Establishment, anti-police nutjob - far from it - because I lean to the Right and The Establishment, but not so much that my leaning distorts my view or my balance of judgement.

The EVIDENCE that the USA has a real, tangible, palpable INCREASING problem with psychotic, racist, POLICE OFFICERS venting their agendas without fear of RECRIMINATION is absolutely IRREFUTABLE - in my opinion.

I cede that the percentage of such bastards is low, but percentages by themselves are meaningless; 90% of 100 is 90, 10% of 4 billion is 400000000, but when it comes to the unnecessary taking of HUMAN life. ONE is too many.

I also cede that the vast MAJORITY of Police Officers are NOT racist and that we should ALL laud the highly dangerous and thankless job which they do in both SERVING and PROTECTING the public, but to DENY or REFUSE TO SEE that there is a problem with racially motivated unlawful killing of POC's by SOME serving police officers, for fear of tarnishing the reputation of those Police Forces as a whole, is wholly unacceptable.

These murderers could NOT flourish or even ACT unless the system which they are part of was not ALSO racially corrupt and tolerant of this practice to some degree - hence the blatant reluctance to hold any kind of 'OFFICIAL' inquiry following a lot of these 'incidents', AND the even more blatant 'Whitewashed' verdicts of 'No Case To Answer' in most cases when an inquiry is held.

The problem is NOT going to go away, and the more it is denied or ignored, the GREATER it will become.

Incidentally LT - I am making these points in a response to your question to me, but they are NOT meant intend to refer to you specifically.
