Editorial comments © 2020 by Neil E Clement depicting a photo of a bearded bald white man wearing an off-white golf shirt covered with tiny multi-colored golf flags standing on the back of a ferry boat looking at the viewer with the white jet-spray flying away behind him and the blue sky rising above the dark landline in the distance and saying this: United States of America 2020: The ‘criminal justice system’ is really a ‘people control system’ foisted upon an unsuspecting population starting in the late 19th century with the rise of the first ultra-wealthy capitalists looking for a way to protect and propagate their egregious lifestyle. This ‘system’ sees to it that The People are brainwashed into believing their lives would be forfeit without the ‘protections’ provided by ‘the law’ and the evil courts and their mercenary enforcers who joyfully ‘administer’ these (intentionally one-sided) laws. Justice in America is what those in charge say it is. Period. The police are not your friends. Period. There will be no true justice for The People until this sham system is dismantled. TAPS is playing out all over America and the world every second of every day.
