Haha, c'mon. Your supporting evidence is Law & Order?
When there are judges being sent to prison because they themselves were found sending boys to private prisons for money, do you expect people to have confidence in the justice system? Yes, fabulous, the judges were eventually caught. But in the meantime their corruption inflicted serious harm on all involved.
I'm pretty sure you're trolling. I need to believe you are.
- Daniel_Newby 13y agoThe alternative to a flawed law enforcement system is not a good one. The alternative is rule by violence. We can have rather a lot of corrupt child-enslaving Louisiana judges and still be a thousand times better off than being under the thumb of the local strongman. And that is exactly the decision we face. If somebody does not stop rapists and bombers, then within days they will be running our lives, like they do in so many "developing" countries. You need to believe I am trolling because you have childish political theories that if we just try harder we can get perfect justice for all. But the actual world has no stable outside context that organizes and perfects justice. The actual world has to self-organize using flawed tools. In that context, we are immensely fortunate to have secret police who respond to an atrocity by inconveniencing a single person for a few days. Most today do not have such a wonderful justice system, and more than a few hundred years ago no one did.
