Prosecutors' actions have real-world implications for a defendant, their words carry more clout than a voiceless defendant, who is not to be believed. Mainstream media bows to their command. <br /><br />If the police have been accused of being weaponized, we can say the same about prosecutors given absolute immunity and using the media to sway public opinion. If police are being told that they are not needed for every call, such as being used as an ambulance or for a mental health issue, the same can be said about prosecutors. Bringing cases against defendants that were completely unnecessary. One such case was the Philadelphia Traffic Court Trail, there was an Ethics Board already in place who could have handled any complaints. If police are accused of escalating a situation instead of de-escalating in certain incidents, then the feds certainly can be accused of the same treatment. There are cases that should never have made it to a federal courtroom, let alone attempting to put people in jail for decades. <br /><br />Were we really in imminent danger of high school grads wearing judicial robes, sporting two weeks of instructions in Harrisburg who generated 20 million dollars a year into the state coffers or were we more in danger as a society of having an FBI agent and prosecutors who lied, hid evidence and tried to hide witnesses from testifying? Was the media blitz necessary to make sure the public was foaming at the mouth in anger? If we need a national reckoning, the media and the public need to say there is a better way to handle systems that could be flawed other than jailing everyone. Hiding behind "fighting corruption" is a lame excuse as the media seems to decide who is corrupt and who gets a pass on corruption. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-66450521701035445912020-06-12T15:26:00.300-04:002020-06-12T15:26:00.300-04:00Great work Ralph.
