Brand of Justice All Over Again

In total, among all known exonerees, Americans have shelled out a staggering $4.12 billion to incarcerate innocent men and women since 1989, according to a Yahoo Finance analysis. That’s largely money spent on trials, and the cost of housing inmates in prison. According to the Bureau of Prisons, in the fiscal year 2017, the average cost to house a prisoner was over $36,000 a year in federal facilities.

 Since the Supreme Court temporarily halted executions in 1972, at least 166 condemned inmates have been exonerated before their death sentences could be carried out. (Executions resumed in 1977 after states began revising their laws to comply with the high court ruling.) Advocates say that some innocent men have also been executed since then, including Cameron Todd Willingham, whom Texas put to death in 2004.

What is PTSD?

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder happens when an individual experiences a horrifying ordeal that involves physical harm or the threat of physical harm. The physical harm or threat could have happened to the individual with PTSD, or the individual could have witnessed it happen to a loved one or a stranger. PTSD was first brought to public attention in relation to war veterans but a variety of traumatic events can cause PTSD.

So American Troops are withdrawn exposing American Allies (Kurds) to them nasty Turks. But wait a sec . . . the Turks are American Allies also. Then President Trump heads to Minneapolis after making sure $500 thousand dollars worth of security was in place. But wait one dog-gone-minute here, he is in favor of the NRA. The Common Man can't spring for that kinda security. This is a Strange Zoo and The Keeper ain't You.

Phoenix Cops take Shoplifting Seriously

To think . . . I wrote of these abuses in JusThis and Brand of Justice. Folks simply do not believe their eyes and refuse to hold our law enforcement community accountable. Where will improvements be made if we believe everything  regarding . . . 'law enforcement' . . . ? Why do officers time and again continue to get caught by cameras? Why aren't they held accountable for filing false police reports? So many whys don't ya think.
