To: null and void

I’m sorry, but that’s beyond tasteless. A police officer was killed responding to an incident in which a young woman was also killed. I never bought into the treacly hero worship of the police, but the fallen officer deserves our respect.

To: Lonesome in Massachussets

Yes I agree. The graphic wasn’t intended for the lost officer, but for his colleagues, who deliberately convicted a man they flat out knew was innocent, who got on the stand and blandly lied by omission and commission to send him to death row, who are guilty of a criminal conspiracy to murder an innocent man under color of authority, not in the heat of passion, not while in fear of their lives, not while under any threat or duress or stress, but simply because it was more convenient to murder him than it would be to find the actual shooter and convict him.

They did it coldly, deliberately, working implacably every day for months. They lied, they intimidated witnesses, they withheld evidence, they colluded with other agencies and they came close to using the full might of the state to put an innocent to death.

And like the graphic says, they’re going to get away with it.

*spit*
