I bet THAT good Texas...Thanks for reviewing this!! <br />I bet THAT good Texas news won't make it into the national mainstream. Though they might, since NY had such an influence? <br />No doubt, long overdue in many ways. <br /> I fear the growing police state, though it's what they WANT me to do. Yet, cahoots are amok in high places, building THEIR fortunes at OUR expenses. The cops are enforcing laws in which they were never trained. They are placed in the middle as tools, protecting the lawyer/politician class from We The Poor People. <br /> Grits, YOU did another great recent article on how the law has been sold to PLEAS-for-Prosecutors, instead of jury trials.<br /><b>EVERYONE SHOULD DEMAND A JURY TRIAL EVERY TIME, then listen to the judges cry. Bring back, "Jail For Judges." THERE NEEDS TO BE OVERSIGHT, and the politicians are TOO SOLD OUT.</b>johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808884177035705472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-91274614620650947672015-05-30T11:01:46.342-05:002015-05-30T11:01:46.342-05:00Grits,the Tulia mentality is still alive and well ...Grits,the Tulia mentality is still alive and well in Texas in way too many communities where unchallenged prosecutors hell bent on convictions at all costs as opposed to the primary goal of "Justice" in all cases reign as the gatekeepers of the system; and the hero worshipping segment of the public are willing to excuse police misconduct "as long as its not my boy..." who's being wrongfully arrested, charged, abused, killed, etc. Perjury is rampant from all sides in proceedings and many times winked at by those attorneys (State and Defense) who are willing to suborn it, which does nothing more than hinder the achievement of the ultimate goal of seeing that the truly guilty are condemned as such and the truly innocent don't enter the system in the first place.<br /><br />More Venita Guptas and individuals, as yourself, who are willing to seek out and call "Bullshit" when they see it are necessary to whittle away at the logjam of injustice in the Texas and national "Justice system". Keep up the good work...it does help.<br /><br />Old Copnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-8979164382012724872015-05-30T10:32:20.906-05:002015-05-30T10:32:20.906-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759794722739894214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-66239393692449664462015-05-30T09:25:38.675-05:002015-05-30T09:25:38.675-05:00Her appointment may prove to be most interesting a...Her appointment may prove to be most interesting and could provide us with a ringside seat to a battle within the justice department between herself and Kenneth Magidson who has single-handedly thwarted all previous efforts to bring federal charges against any of the Houston cops who have killed almost 150 citizens within the past 8-years alone. http://www.texasobserver.org/houston-cops-always-justified-shootings/<br /><br />Gupta will either be forced to look the other way or confront the evil bastard who is most responsible for allowing HPD officers to have Carte Blanche, on-duty or off. And since President Obama also appointed Magidson to his latest terror post, it will be a terribly difficult decision I'm sure. I wish her the best and hope she allows her conscience to guide her and not be worried about political backlash from within the organization that would surely erupt should she challenge the status quo.TriggerMortishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488782801153643342noreply@blogger.com
