Maybe it's just me, but it seems like cops do more harm than good in our society. I don't see them doing anything to address real crime, and instead they just harass motorists, write tickets to fill their quotas and justify their salaries, employ their heavy-handed sadistic methods against marginalized citizens. When it comes to any real crime, they operate like the Boulder Colorado PD.
I read an article in the paper the other day that said that 1 in 31 adults in this country are either incarcerated or are presently under parole. How do we tolerate laws and a justice system that makes criminals out of that large a segment of our population.
