LINDQUIST: We ignorant folks understand justice

Re: “Lindquist coverage lacks context of landscape” (TNT, 9-28).

Former police officer Brian O’Neill’s article was typical cop fodder: vilification thrown at those who oppose the God-like power of prosecutor abuse with no evidence presented about the issues at hand.

All the issues slightly addressed are muddied up with his experience, his knowledge and our ignorance. In fact O’Neill excuses himself because he “lacks background knowledge,” but that doesn’t stop him from ranting on about things that are meaningless to the issues at hand.

O’Neill naturally mixes topics to confuse the reader so as to mask his bias. In fact he tells us we are just too ignorant to understand what goes on in the high office of prosecutors and police stations around the country. Excuse me; we ignorant folks understand justice far more than police and prosecutors with agendas.

As is typical, the police always throw in some other horrendous murder case to smoke and mirror the injustice rampant within the legal system.
