And what I'm posting is stories reporting where cops have been arrested, accused or sued for crimes and civil rights violations. Murdering unarmed people, running over kids on bikes, tazing 87 year old bed ridden grand mothers and 10 year old girls refusing to take a bath...
So its seems to swing both ways around here...
I think the lack of credibility on the part of the media impacts everything. It’s hard to know what reports to believe, so it’s hard to be outraged over anything.
I think we are seriously putting ourselves in a position where we can’t believe anything, can’t do anything about it even if something is blatantly wrong, and so it’s all just a big waste of time. That’s the level of cynicism we’re getting to, and unless we do something to rebuild the integrity and trust, this whole nation is just going to be postmodern mush, where nobody can know anything so who cares about anything.
It really is the whole foundation of civilization that the government, media, and law enforcement are screwing up. If we don’t fight back we will freeze to death with a sleepy smile on our faces.
