Feinstein Delights Right-Wing Nuts by Calling for Release of Trigger-Happy Border Patrol Agents

There are now over 2 million people in American prisons, many more in other detention facilities, on parole or probation. There is no doubt that thousands are completely innocent, and certainly a million or more have received unfair treatment in a criminal justice system that punishes the poor and people of color well out of proportion to our population. Texas is about to execute a man that officials admit did not kill anyone. Yet our Democratic Senator, Dianne Feinstein, has chosen to use her powers to call on the release of two border patrol agents who fired upon an unarmed person who was fleeing from them. She truly is a brave and principled woman. Oh wait, I meant despicable and evil.

I'm crazy? You can barely write. If you're disabled I apologize, but otherwise I think you're a moron or maybe like 9 years old.

Guess what. Law enforcement is not supposed to shoot at people who run away. That's bad policing. I mean when you get pulled over for speeding do you think the cops can blow your brains out if you run away? No. The guy had marijuana. Big deal. You don't shoot people over that.

Most people in jail are guilty? Well if you trust the system so much, then why do you want the agents freed? I mean they went through the same system. A jury of Texans convicted them.

By the way just because someone is guilty doesn't mean they deserve to be punished in our disgusting criminal justice system. E.g. three strikes laws. How many people in California are spending years in prison because of petty theft? Just happened to be their third strike. What a stupid system and a waste of money. The police, prosecutors and politicians who support the system; and the private companies who get rich off the system should be the ones in prison; or at least in a mental hospital. Because they are either evil or really sick.
