system to hold them accountable ???

They are above the law and no one is doing anything

the rein them in.

Corruption, greed, and evil people have infested every

part of the government.

The police are nothing but armed gangs that protect

property, write frivolous tickets, shut down protest, and arrest people for

using marijuana.
