It won’t let me take quiz- nothing worse than the law using other people who may not want to be USED, but feel they have too! What’s the difference in forcing guilty to save a life when they may be innocent, basically not much? I saw a biography on a man forced to plead guilty of a fire that killed his little girls, he didn’t do it and was excited, he was poor and white, with injustice poverty is a key factor of sorry, often vindictive court appointed attorney’s, and race is NOT important, lives are! Justice needs to go beyond death penalty cases, race, mental illness, poverty will convict people every day and nothing changes! Wealth, power is a powerful tool but police tactics never change till you stop one thing,” arrogance” Police Training Reforms can’t stop, ” arrogance!” And so, it continues!
