The Only Condemnation for Slager the Slayer (hint: it won't come from the Scooby-Do-Mobile)
Is when Slager the Slayer is told that his yet unborn kid is not his and that his wife's ex shot off one last load at his (Slager's) expense. Otherwise, it could only come as an appeasement to the people who might view it as the straw that broke the camel's back.
There is a danger, however, in police procedures that are tailored for police perpetrators thanks to powerful public unions, specifically, the fact that a police officer can get "2 or 3" days to conspire over the merits of his story while the rest of us get grilled from the get go. This happened with P.O. Darren Wilson and we all saw how he was able to concoct a story that only Grand Jury members anxious to get back to their miserable existences can love. I'll bet you that the fuckers in the PBA have their consultants in such cases--the shysters who provide all the right angles for a killer cop's defense and the forensics experts who will bend the rules of physics to present to the lumpish juries.
Would Hillary Artillery address the question of police brutality in our country? Of course not, what we got as her opening salvo is platitudes created in a Madison Avenue psychopath's mind, saying that she's all so "family" oriented. OK, you heard her, gays, lesbians, and assorted others*, no Bohemia for anyone! There was nothing of substance in her comments and there never will be for she has the washing machine on a fast spin to squeaky clean, and let controversy be damned.
One note to the Black community, however, is this: do you feel that martyrdom is the only way to justice? Because it's beginning to look that way; I bend over when a man with a gun tells me to do so. Even if it means another jail term I consider it suicidal and I always acquiesce and, therefore, live to blog another day and meditate over God's sense of justice. I realize this would not have helped the likes of Mr. Gurley, but, for most of the other cases that I've been reading about, it could create an instant fix to "death by cop." You have to be the worst son-of-a-bitch to kick a man who is down on account of your badge.
The spirit of MLK needs to resurface because IT'S NOT GOING TO STOP ON ITS OWN until the second coming or until we take to the streets. Now, the entire nation (those who know what an ethical principle is, that is) is aware that there is a problem and all of us would join the movement (MLK-style), but if we postpone the solidarity and the activism, the assault will continue because the PBA does its job very well.
I know I digress but, please bear with me, what the people need is a PBA-style union that will uphold the principles of the people (let's say those enshrined in U.S. Constitution). This sounds flippant but I seriously think it's what we all need. Yes, you'd pay dues into it and those that don't pay will not get represented (it's OK, the masses have gone along with the ride before and the unions were none the worse for it). Members, however, will be able to bring up issues and vote for certain legislation to be enacted on their behalf, and they would be automatically represented in court. Fuck yeah! We'd also have our own lobbyists who would do battle with the present lobbyists and I assure you, our guys would be the best paid in Washington. Even if all U.S. corporations team up to form their own union, it would be ineffective because what issues would the majority in a such a union consider important to all? The people's union would be so powerful that, at the very least, "their" union would have to negotiate with us. Other societal issues they can address is that of jobs are going overseas. As they would be "people" just like corporations, they could "machine" any people's candidate to office.
"Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy," for we lack a modicum of mercy from those who lord it over us on this terrestrial plain. It doesn't have to be that way. For instance, as regards police brutality, I'd ask our people's union to pass a law that when any cop feels remotely threatened, he can say to the perpetrator, "hands, up." If the perpetrator does so IMMEDIATELY (under one second), the cop is not to shoot him under penalty of A.) Losing his job and B) losing all his worldly goods to the family of the victim who is shown in video with "hands up." This is where the body cams come into play, and to block the camera--for whatever reason--results in loss of the cop's job in any law enforcement field.
Oh well, I've wasted too much of my remaining time on dreams. God be with us . . . and with the priest's spirit, too.
