"This is the system you defend................"
Yes. I defend a system of laws. Anarchy is not my preference.
But of course, any system requires tweaking.
As I have said many times, where bankers have broken the law, I would like to see them caught and punished in much the same way as blue collar criminals.
But it is also a principle of law that you can't apply new law to actions which were taken previously. The law confronts a difficulty where innovation occurs. It is usually behind the curve.
Where police break the law I also want them to be caught and punished. But they do a very difficult job and where a person assaults them, they are entitled to defend themselves. This is the key distinction between the Brown case and the chokehold one. For me, the Garner death looked and sounded like a homicide.
