(29,047 posts)The bosses seemed pleased. Large portions of our government are out of control. It's not just the cops.

(14,177 posts)yes, I know they are pleased. I am sure their more immediate bosses are also pleased that they are able to fill corporate jails. That large portions of the government is out of control is no longer a shock. That our government is has been sold to the 1% has now been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt and we have little in our arsenal to combat this we have GOTV and our scant consumer dollars that we can try to give less and less of to the worst corporate offenders.

Look back at Civil Rights movement.. it's going to take a bunch of "whites" to get involved before the cops back off.
Sometimes I look at my country and feet totally ashamed at what goes on.
