I cannot agree with you more. Unfortunately, we’ve now progressed to a point where it isn’t just prevalent in the workplace anymore. It’s systemic in everyday life.
In a “civilized” society, there would be a massive uproar over the disenfranchisement of ALL Americans, regardless of political affiliation. The mere fact that there are little to no Democrats upset with the voter fraud across the country speaks volumes to where we are as a society.
As for unions, there was once a time and a place for the protection of workers. But in many instances the roles have reversed. The Union Bosses are the ones benefiting from the work of their membership, often to the members detriment. Add in the overall greed and you have a recipe for disaster.
It would be too easy to put the blame on one thing when the problems with police, fire, public safety, auto workers, teachers, (name your profession) is we have forgotten that with responsibility comes accountability. It’s just too damn easy to pass the buck.
The situation at hand is a tragedy. Hopefully, the truth will come out and whatever the outcome it reflects well on the criminal justice system. Unfortunately, there is so little faith in the system I have my doubts.
All true... And I agree, Unfortunately the justice system has become dysfunctional. My Dad and Uncle worked in it when it was still functional and anymore all they can do is shake their heads with no comment at what is happening now.
And you might argue against this... But the only cure I can see that might bring it back in order would be to eliminate both Qualified and Justified immunity.
I fear that until personal financial liability and accountability for actions is put in place it is never going to change. It’s just going to continue to get worse.
