Rafael Ramos Funeral Draws Mourners In New York City
NEW YORK -- More than 20,000 police officers and other mourners gathered Saturday at Christ Tabernacle Church in Queens for the funeral of Rafael Ramos, one of two NYPD officers
shot and killed in an ambush last Saturday.
At the beginning, there were protests against police brutality, after, against government, today we can see the third part of protests - both(protesters and police)against government. The only way to stop this - is to protest together!
All true Americans should be protesting against law enforcement and the government at the same time. Both are corrupt, and are a shame on Americans. Police have been given way too much authority and power, and the same holds true of the government. John Q. Public is at the mercy of both, and both take full advantage of it. We have a government that acts as an entity unto itself, answerable to no one except itself, and members of law enforcement supported and protected by the same. Because of so much division among citizens, we have lost what power we had, and are now under the control of un-American authority.
One of the biggest problems we face is the injustices of our corrupt judicial system. In all but very rare cases, both the government and law enforcement agencies are above the laws, and take full advantage of their exemption. Law enforcement agencies investigate themselves, and likewise for the government. Our judicial system is a system of gross negligence and injustices to the nth degree. The American people need to protest night and day on every street in America. We need to constantly express our disagreement concerning both government actions and injustices carried out by law enforcement agencies. The foundation of America is cracking and crumbling before our eyes. True justice is nonexistent, freedom is a joke, and little by little we're losing our rights.
Saying that law enforcement is in place to protect and to serve has become laughable and pathetic. Police are held to quotas, which are nothing more than revenue generating assaults on John Q. Public. In many cases, arrest are clear violations of rights, as are searches and seizures. We have cops committing perjury in court in order to protect each other. We have cops taking weapon from evidence rooms, removing serial numbers, and using them as "throw downs" in case they shoot an unarmed citizen. We have cops that are on the take, and turn their backs while drug deals go down. Cops are not "our finest" as they have been called. They break the same laws that they arrest others for. In summary, both cops and members of government are disgraces to America.
