The rampaging uselessness of American government — no justice for cop-slaughtered Eric Garner — after 4 years of pretended investigation

Rage may be a sane reaction to much of what goes on in the United States

 

My peaceful Buddhist-like proclivities notwithstanding.

 

 

For example

 

In these "exceptional" United States, 4 years have not been long enough for the Feds to decide whether Eric Garner's civil rights were violated — when New York City police choked the ailing and harmless man to death for no decent reason.

 

We might fairly infer (from this) that the US Justice Department crew (and its bosses) are comprised of:

 

 

white supremacist-inclined,

 

arguably vacuum-brained,

 

perhaps lazy

 

and

 

(certainly) public relations-manipulating

 

 

sluggards.

 

 

Similarly, in New York

 

Four years have not been enough for the New York City Police Department to administratively evaluate whether the cops involved did evil things during the Garner homicide.

 

This, despite having almost everything necessary to making a reasoned decision available on an immediately available video.

 

We can thus hypothesize that NYPD is run by:

 

 

police union-fearing

 

white supremacist-favoring

 

(perhaps) stone-headed

 

(probably) blind

 

(certainly) spine-lacking

 

(undeniably) militaristic

 

 

sloths.

 

 

The moral? — These are our United States

 

The Justice Department and NYPD are two clearly representative samples of American "authorities".

 

We can surmise, from these and other cases, that intrusively rampaging uselessness characterizes visible American government, generally.

 

Interestingly — given the Garner case's very long time-line — one cannot blame its:

 

 

step-stalling

 

bigot-supporting

 

"stall till they forget" style

 

 

on the Trump presidential administration.

 

As I keep saying, it is us who are the problem. And it is time that "some of us" forcefully turn against the nastier parts of "some of us".

 

Colloquially speaking:

 

 

Ain't nobody gonna do nuthin'

 

to fix nuthin'

 

till

 

they "be" looking up

 

the persuasive end

 

of expulsion

 

from Life's sweetly parasitic pasture(s).

 

 

So to speak.
