Orlando Police Chief Val Demings

Orlando Police Chief Val Demings. What can I say about police these days. I don't know if it is just me but I am not to fond of our officers who are supposed to "protect and serve". I believe this police chief is endemic of our problems. She is suing a blogger. Violation of the blogger's 1st amendment rights, nah.

Her lawyer had the audacity to say this:

“Truth is not always a defense,” Winthrop said. “I hope he [Harris] gets himself a really good lawyer,” he said.

Another lawyer blogged about the subject and had this to say:

The purpose of the First Amendment is to ensure the unfettered exchange of ideas among the American people. See Roth v. United States, 354 U.S. 476, 484 (1957). Florida courts have held that the First Amendment requires neither politeness nor fairness. S

To be quite honest, I would not trust most police officers with a sharpened crayon, much less a gun. The cases of police officers lying to the court systems are turning up all the time. In my own interactions with the law, I seem to have verified that we are essentially running a business through law enforcement.

"Oh you speed? Well, since we have to watch for speeders to protect people, you need to pay us now. No, well go to jail. Pay to take this class and it is off your record."

Don't believe the power of money in our judicial system? Well, we have judges being caught sending kids to a juvenile detention center for kickbacks. We have some of the worst laws on the books right now that allow this stuff to happen.

If you get a court appointed lawyer (at least in my town), they always want you to plead and get probation. Our judicial is a capitalist dream.
In my town they are putting up traffic cameras. The people who get the revenue and foot the bill is a private company. There is no doubt that they will make a good amount of money. There are further details of the story but it rings the same in each city they do this in.

I know that I am ranting and changing topics but I can do that. :P

So, now we have stupid cops, stupid lawyers, and judges who can't see what we are doing to our own people. When is this going to end.
