But it feels like it to me. This is what I want to have happen. Perhaps it is because there is no action in motion to be saved, and the cause is more diverse.
The government seems paralyzed. I feet the incalcitrance by the PD is a prelude to something bigger, and I don't know what it is. But the whole thing is a RW fantasy.
Am I wrong? Doesn't the Federal government have the authority to do this now?
I know states are pushing their old posse comitatus routine, but this is part of a state's government that is breaking federal law. I can't cite which was it is, but I think the one in the link was enforcing a court order.
Sorry, thinking out loud. All I've seen on the faces of black people I know this week a look of PAIN and HURT. I try to keep having hope this will turn around... But it keeps getting worse.
