America's Law-Enforcement Problem [CBD]

Yes....we have a big problem. But it isn't the one our media has assumed, with help from the professional race-baiters in our current federal government, and of course the private enterprise version (Sharpton, Jackson, etc.).

I tweeted to @DrewMTips a few weeks ago that, "The so-called "good" cops almost always turn a blind eye to the crimes of the bad cops. Therefore they too are criminals."

Here is a perfect example of that. It is ridiculous to assume that every Orange County prosecutor or deputy sheriff is a crook, but the ones who are crooked are being protected -- actively or passively, it doesn't matter -- by the ones who aren't.

In Kevin Williamson's latest NRO article he eviscerates the Orange County CA prosecutorial apparatus for their systematic law-breaking and abuse of power. But look who he holds responsible for fixing the broken system!

This is how the Fourth Estate is supposed to work: When District Attorneys Attack

The Democrats have long been acculturated to the climate of corruption that attends government agencies that are largely free of ordinary accountability, where a carefully cultivated lack of transparency shields operatives from scrutiny and normal oversight. Republicans can rouse themselves to action, if only barely, when this involves the federal Internal Revenue Service or Environmental Protection Agency. But deference to police agencies and prosecutors is so habitual among the members of the law-and-order party that they instinctively look for excuses when presented with obvious examples of police misconduct, and twiddle their thumbs in the 99 percent of cases of prosecutorial misconduct that do not involve a Republican elected official.

Read the whole thing...it is a gem.
