police accountable.....ever. In fact one of the major problems we have is cops are often fired for bad behavior and then just go to the next county and hire on. It is a common practice. In Bastrop County, which adjoins Travis (Austin) the Sheriff was fired from the Texas Rangers and then elected by the county.

The same thing applies to lawyers - Sidney Powell, the Trump lackey, still has her law license.

There is no accountability of any kind in our justice system. Not anything new either. It is a bad joke.
