Jim Kirwan: The Bloated Blue Line

Back in the days when cops were deployed NOT to start riots, but to control them, there was a pride-filled phrase that attempted to describe the role of the police in that society. They referred to themselves as "The Thin Blue Line." The impetus was that all that protected any society from chaos was that thin blue line of official law and order, which was represented by honest cops. However, after Bush Jr. stole the White House, his Attorney General, J. Edgar Ashcroft became a lightening rod for corruption throughout the entire Department of Justice: So the corruption we see everywhere now goes right back to the beginning of the "New Millennium." Today, the bloated- rabid "officers" we see in the streets of cities across this country are nothing like their predecessors of just twenty years ago. The reason is that the entire chain of command throughout the entire "Just-Us System" has been thoroughly corrupted, from the judges in the Supreme Court, through the A.G. all the way through all the courts, the judges at all levels, the prosecutors, the attorneys, and on into the entire system of corrections (detention & torture) that administer the daily criminality which the system shovels out to the poor, the unsuspecting and the naive, and none of this has any relationship to "law" or "order", because the POLICE- STATE has become the Defacto Law of this land.
