Justice is Dead

If you want to know why there are five dead police officers this morning, just ask yourself: Is there any justice left in this country?

When a black man is pinned to the ground by two police officers, and then shot in the chest, is that justice?

When a black man is pulled over for a busted tail light, and ends up dead because he failed to follow new police instructions because he was following an older police instruction, is that justice?

Is it justice when a woman can avoid criminal prosecution just because she is a high level politician?

When there is a common perception of injustice in a country, police are naturally going to become targets, because then they are nothing more than armed thugs in the public's eye. What are they defending or protecting when the law doesn't work? Nothing.

The fact these injustices are happening in Democratic-controlled cities, in a country with a Democratic president, is not a coincidence. When a party is based on the principal of using government force to steal from one group of people to give to another group of people, all while using their own power to protect themselves, is the definition of injustice. In this environment, why should police be treated any better than armed thugs?

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."--Frédéric Bastiat
