Justice Department report just concluded that three higher ups violated federal law during their tenure at the DOJ. So far, no prosecutions?
You wonder why the US Atty's office and SAO see verdicts like the one a week or so ago? LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
The DOJ no longer commands the respect of the people - it is amoral. Result oriented leo investigations and handling of cases. Law enforcement in general is heading that route -- the feds and police do not police themselves, so why should the general public believe them? There are two standards in this country: One for those who are supposed to enforce the law and the other for those that are subject to the law.
If you all want to see something, take a look at You Tube and pull down the clip of the NY Cop attacking the bicycle rider. Here is the link:
The question is not why has the cop (who arrested the bicyclist and falsified charges against him) not been criminally charged yet...the question is why the second cop in the video, who saw everything, has not been fired and arrested for being an accomplice. No INTEGRITY in those that manage the system.
This complaint falls on the SD US Atty and his Office as well. One need look no farther than Timony - chief of police - who was found by the CIP to have broke the law in accepting a lease for nothing. Don't even bother to point to the two cops charged in the recent indictment -- they were not the targets, they were videotaped selling drugs -- the office had no choice but to charge them.
You want to start earning back the respect of the public and stop loosing cases that depend on the credibility of law enforcement officers? Then, stop holding yourselves to different standards than the rest of the citizens.

We should all be offended that when you link to their articles you can't retrieve them without membership.
WHO do they think they are anyway? Last time I checked, that rag didn't have any Pulitzer prize winning writers.
Congratulations to the DBR.
After reaching 1,000, we know the work it takes.
