So for those of you who have seen it, would you agree that by shedding some light on the weaknesses of the justice system, it will further damage America's current weakened trust of police officers? I'm thinking this is more of Pluto in Capricorn, and possibly Saturn squaring Neptune.

It's so hard to summarize because it's so long and there's so many layers. (It was filmed over 10 years.) But I found this link for you that outlines the main points:

IN THE INVESTIGATORY REPORTS. I could rant about it for days, sorry.

What do you guys think?

Haven't seen this particular ones, but I've read sociological exposes, seen damning investigative reporting, and there are even movies like this (one I haven't seen but wanted to was Houston police gunning down a runaway apparently for sport, but a PI hired by the family of the boy traced the gun the boy supposedly pulled to being registered with the evidence room shortly before this meaning the police threw the gun down and said he drew it, and it was more than one cop, and none were convicted of it--and this happened in the 70s but even in the 90s the Houston stations wouldn't play it, but I saw it listed in the national TV guide which is how I learned of it, but the local station played a different movie instead).

And it's always the same. People act shocked, outraged, and then forget. And then repeat, over and over.

Kinda like mass shootings and so many other things in our daily lives.

And cops get promoted and pay raises from convictions, which is awfully tempting to convict anyone, and if the person is actually guilty then so much the better, but it's a secondary concern for quite a few (I've known cops to engage in plenty of crimes with impunity themselves, and I don't just mean abusing their authority). And also within the law, like the killing of Donald Scott to seize his ranch that the deputies could sell for millions of dollars (and give to themselves, pay raises and other bennies for all involved, the life of a pirate is good) which they investigated (once they seize everything, including bank accounts, then good luck in defending yourself in the injustice system) only AFTER they assessed the property to make sure it was worth their while.

So no, this is just SSDD, and will quickly be forgotten like so much else like it over the centuries in the United States (the history that goes back is interesting as well, Chicago even had a serious altercation before when citizens hired their own police to enforce the law, including against corrupt cops, over a century ago, and Houston also had a similar incident that is glossed over in the Texas History books from the very early 20th century in which military police and Houston police actually started shooting at each other trying to arrest each other for murders committed, and cops on both sides were hanged).

Lies, Injustice, and the American Way is a national tradition. That, and the incredible memory hole that keeps forgetting this stuff.

Here is the opposite view ... I would take conspiracy theories like polices going after a past convict to frame him as dubious. It's too time consuming and he's hardly important
