Leaked Documents Reveal Police Department Planted Drugs for Years, DA Complicit
It seems like there is a smoking gun in this case (though I didn't review the evidence thoroughly). Widespread availability of video recording and distribution has provided many more smoking guns. Certainly, there are many more incidents where no smoking gun evidence is available.<p>For a long time, black Americans have been claiming that such things happen and were widely ignored or disbelieved. It was and is a grave error - I can't imagine how many victims there are. This raises critical questions:<p>1) Why did our society make this error?<p>2) How do we prevent making the same mistake in the future, regarding other issues?<p>3) About what issues are we making the same mistake right now?<p>Also: What do we do about the legions of victims? Ignoring them yet again would be a crime.
