Doctors Without Borders Pulls Out Of World Humanitarian Summit, Says It No Longer Has Hope

78. Intent matters in the legal system

which Americans delude themselves is fair and just. Just as they delude themselves that our presence in the Middle East is fair and just.

Our constant "accidents" do nothing but act as a recruiting tool for extremist groups who do all they can to bring death and destruction to American shores in retaliation.

To me this is the same as the "one bad apple" defense of police misconduct. First of all, the misconduct is systemic and institutional. Second, no amount of wrist slapping is going to make the families of the dead feel better, nor the a large segment of the public (people of color and the poor) trust the police.

The government/police can slap themselves on the back all they want and tell themselves that proper procedure was followed, but it will never change the reality that it is all just murder with a fig leaf of legality.
