The Prince Georges Whitewash

Indeed, Kathryn, I am not surprised at all that the police would consider a police shooting “justified.” Time and again, we have heard after notorious incidents of police misconduct and brutality that “the officers acted as they were trained,” as though that is supposed to justify murderous and oppressive behavior.

The real problem is that the police and their supporters have become powerful political forces in this country, and consider any criticism of the police to be “un-American.” (Read Michelle Malkin and you will see someone who fully supports a police state for the rest of us.)

Nothing will happen to the police in Prince Georges County, and this latest version of the Government Home Invasion will ultimately pass unnoticed. Every officer who participated in that “raid” should be thrown into prison, but, instead, they will be feted as heroes.
