Getting away with murder, Ya'all

Times haven’t changed. Ya’ll’s in the south now son and I can prove it by the local government’s reaction to the killing of John Geer. In that light, the Fairfax County political mechanism isn’t being unresponsive to the killing of John Geer. Just the opposite. Everyone from the board of supervisors to the federal prosecutor is present and accounted for and they are all doing their jobs. Their doing exactly what they’re supposed to do. ….not responding. Thier closing ranks and protecting themselves against intrusive outsiders like the public and the press. What the Washington Post rightfully calls stonewalling, the Fairfax County Good Ol Boys calls survival. But is goes beyond them.
 The US Attorney isn’t going to do anything in the case until after the November elections because this isn’t about justice it’s about protecting a democratic power base. The US Attorney knows that if he or she wants a career on Wall Street and a house in Greenwich, they’ll leave the Geer issue alone until the time is right.
Can we really blame these weasels for their actions? After all we allowed them to get away with this in the past.  For the Fairfax County lifelong politicians and bureaucrats closing ranks on the killing of unarmed citizens has worked in the past, so, they ask themselves…..understandably….. why won’t it work now?  Just toss out some meaningless double talk to appease the press until they go away. (The print press is the only media following this story. The electronic media is following the Post on this one or at least they will until they can find a Hap, Hap, Happy! angle to it)
As a prime example of double speak, take Fairfax County Police Chief Edwin C. Roessler Jr., the babble king of local government. He promised to “hold myself accountable” to Mr. Geer’s family….what the fuck does that mean? It means nothing and Roessler, another lifelong inside player, knows it means nothing. 
Roessler may be a weasel but Prosecutor Raymond F. Morrogh is a sham and a public disgrace. The cops do what they want in Fairfax County because they know they can rely on Morrogh.
None of this really matters.  In the end, nothing will happen to Roessler or Morrogh or the US Attorney who has so suddenly gone blind to justice.  Morrogh will get away with this one too, the US Attorney will move on to corporate law and just like the last white guy in a silly suit from the Fairfax County Police Department who over saw the murder of unarmed citizens, Roessler will be handed a six figure do-nothing county job and a new white guy in a silly suit will take his place, the cops arrogance will continue, more citizens will be gunned down and nothing will happen to stop it……unless….unless the people who hire the cops are held accountable for the cops in a public forum. If that happen’s watch how quickly things will change. They’re politicians, they’re weasels and if it comes down to their jobs or cops, the cops will lose.
The way to make that happen is to start by question John Foust in public.
He was on the board of supervisor through at least four questionable killings by the Fairfax County Police and never made a stand on the issue but he did vote against oversight for the cops.

He needs to be questioned on the killing of local citizens by the police, in a public forum but he also needs to be asked about the state of American policing in general. Should we allow the federal government to continue handing out, at no charge, armored tanks, rocket launchers and other armaments of war to local police department?  Considering the remarkable annual cost of police brutality lawsuits, should the federal government require all police departments across the country to issue body cameras to their cops before the department receives federal funding?

They are all legitimate question since the federal government funds the Fairfax County Police Department to some degree and because the issue of cops out of control is a national problem.

But no one will toss a hard ball at John Foust. He’s a member of the club and he’ll get a pass on this one. Protecting congressional candidate John Foust from questioning on the killing of John Geer and other unarmed citizens in Fairfax County by the police isn’t right. But he is being shielded because he’s a Democrat. 

But he should be asked those questions in public forum. Whoever the republican candidate is should be asked the same question based on the above reasons. If the candidate doesn’t have an intelligent, responsible answer maybe they shouldn’t be in Congress.
This issue really doesn’t warrant much attention because in the end the bad guys will get away with it again. The only person who MIGHT…MAYBE…get it in this case is the cop who killed John Geer. Somebody has to burn and he’s the low man on the pole and nobody objects to a cop getting burned.
But all that will happen to that cop is that he’ll be fired from the force. That’s it. He won’t be prosecuted for murder. Basically, he’ll get away with it. He’ll get away with murder.  Watch and see.
And again, forming a police oversight panel to solve this problem is just stupid. It’s government-worker-think. Police oversight doesn’t work.
What does work are body cameras on cops, cameras on the cop’s cars, and forcing the cops to insure themselves against law suits.  Make complaints against specific cop’s public information and stop pulling negative information from a cops file after 90 days.
The only bright spot in this case has been the Washington Post. They have consistently reported on this story and other involving the Fairfax County Police in a fair and even handed manner. The Post is ahead of the media pack on this one. People across the nation are fed up with the low standards governments allow for the police and this new generation, armed with cell photo cameras and instant access to the web, isn’t going to stand for it.  The cop crime wave in America will be the ongoing story of the new century.

 I don’t know how newspapers get the Pulitzer Prize but the Post should get one for their work the Geer killing.

Minnesota police chief decapitates boy's pet chicken; complaint filed
ATWATER, Minn. -- An Atwater woman has filed a formal complaint against the Atwater police chief for trespassing on her property and killing her young son's pet chicken -- leaving the hen's decapitated head just feet from the backyard chicken coop.
Ashley Turnbull said she knows she violated the city's ordinance that prohibits fowl and acknowledges she was told Aug. 7 by police to remove the three chickens and two ducks.
But she said Police Chief Trevor Berger went too far when he came onto her property about a week later, when nobody was home, and clubbed, killed and decapitated a small, red hen with a shovel.
"The chicken was like a puppy dog to my son," said Turnbull. "You wouldn't do that to a puppy."
Berger said he was simply enforcing the city ordinance that has been on the books since 1960 and was responding to a "frustrated' neighbor's repeated complaints, including a report on Aug. 16 that one of Turnbull's chickens was running loose in the residential area near the elementary school.
"I'm sorry it had to happen that way," said Berger, adding that he didn't intend to leave the severed chicken head in the yard to send a message to the homeowners.
