The media versus the police

[necturus]

The media have been systematically discrediting one institution after another: churches painted as havens for pedophiles; sports franchises as corrupt bastions of steroid-addled wife-beaters; legislatures and courts bought and paid for; and so on. Now it is the turn of the police, only yesterday the heroes on the front lines of the global war on terror: now they are all racist thugs who would as soon shoot you dead as look at you.

If only the Mediocracy would turn its spotlight of shame on itself, that the scales should fall from tens of millions of our eyes and we might begin to perceive our world as it really is; but I suppose that is too much to ask.
