#NewYork politicians are creating a new #crime panic to get public buy-in for denying #defendants their constitutional rights. We must remember #KaliefBrowder!

@StillIRise1963 So many people are like "How can the system fail us now?" while talking about Trump, and I'm just like:

Where have they been? Have they not heard of #BreonnaTaylor , #KaliefBrowder , #SandraBland?
@Teri_Kanefield @mastodonmigration I respect and learn from your posts, Teri. But we have disagreed #OnHere. I personally cannot enshrine our system of Constitutional laws when the spawn unjust statutory systems that the majority of us interact with; systems that indefinitely incarcerate people like #KaliefBrowder and cruelly kill people like #BreonnaTaylor within the law and without much accountability. I realize this is a far cry from the constitutional laws you normally write about. But one system is dependent on the other and I'm not willing to look past that. I would venture to say that the Garland bashers would like simply to see justice meted out as quickly to powerful people as well publicized injustices are meted out to the poor and powerless. I know that statement is like nails on a chalkboard to you, but if your writings can help convince them that we need to mete justice slowly and deliberately for EVERYONE, then we all win. No one cannot deny the incongruity of our justice system, and thus I personally have a really hard time revering it.
The other thing I'm hearing is how it is totally unfair to put a former president through this on prime time television because they just don't want to treat anyone else like this. No one!
But the minute they treat the ex-president like "everyone else," perhaps like #KaliefBrowder who died after 3 years in Riker's Island without any charges, they'll want this special treatment.
@Teri_Kanefield I appreciate the work that defense attorneys do; I don't appreciate that rich white people can get special counsel and special masters while people like #KaliefBrowder die in jail for petty crime - that's the essence of the hashtag. I don't understand the judicial system in terms of career trajectories, and that was the essence of my question. But I've done you the favor of unfollowing you. Again, thanks for your work defending people - sorry we couldn't connect more positively.
