Part of the problem here is that in Portland's judicial system, including all local, municipal, city, state, county, and federal courts, the District Attorney is by law judge, jury, and executioner, and just as in Seattle, nothing he asks may be denied in court in any case.
Should those filthy corrupt cops have our sympathy, aid or comfort when they have gone out of their way to destroy the lives of the just without cause, far out of proportion to any sense of justice, and a few of them, finally, will perhaps receive that punishment of death which they have worked so hard for so many years to bring upon themselves?
