From: Zbadba@yabbs To: Nforcer@yabbs Subject: re: Police Date: Tue Aug 2 21:41:02 1994 I can sympathize with your side. The real issue is that the "justice" system rapes the innocent and coddles the guilty. Happens again and again. If you're actually innocent, you're screwed. You have to hire a real defender, go thru all the lengthy pre-trial hearings, blah blah blah. If you're guilty, just plea bargain away 'till you've got 3 months probation instead of 2-5 years in jail. Sucks, but that's how it goes in this country. I also only have limited respect for law enforcement in general, but that is more a product of my environment, I think. (I live in a town where gay bashing is popular among both hoods and cops). There are some cops I really respect a great deal, but I haven't met many.\
