Suggestions wanted. The wife claims that American law enforcement processes are so biased against people of color that justice is impossible. She refuses to suggest what to do about it other than to accept at face value even accusations such as the recently disproved claims against the Duke University lacrosse players. [She's defending the actions of the now dis-barred District Attorney.]
My counter position is that in the case in question, the government in the person of the District Attorney ignored both the lack of facts and (a month later) exonerating evidence. I'm supporting giving judges the authority to over-rule prosecutors and juries when they've clearly ignored the evidence or decided in opposition to the evidence.
Ok ... does she have a point? If so, what actions or reorganizations of law enforcement can be implemented so that "justice", both individual and collective, will prevail?
GL ... you'll need some thinking on this one.
