"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Killed On Camera
"Officer Alvin Weems shot an unarmed man point-blank in view of CTA [Chicago Transit Authority] security cameras. Investigators recommended that he be fired. [Chicago Police Superintendent] Phil Cline promoted him." The victim was Michael Pleasance, whose name I mention because there has been no national moral outrage on his behalf, no candlelight vigils, no major protests to bring his politically privileged murderer to justice.
