IT Fossil<p>If you want to know why a lot of people don't trust law enforcement and the justice system propping them up, its not that hard. Here is why:</p><p>1. They target minorities.<br>2. They let the rich and powerful get away with it.<br>3. They are almost never held accountable in the way they claim to be holding the rest of us accountable.</p><p>Law enforcement officers are a tool of the status quo. That's not to say that there aren't some good ones out there, because there are, bad ones too, but most of them are just punching the clock and turning a blind eye to the rest.</p><p>Kind of like us techies.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Justice</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Police</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Law</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Felon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Felon</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Merchan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Merchan</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SlapOnTheWrist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SlapOnTheWrist</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/GettingOffScotFree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GettingOffScotFree</span></a></p>
