Watching the news this morning. They are covering the tragic story of a NY police officer senselessly killed in the line of duty two nights ago. Sad and unnecessary indeed. What is interesting to me this morning is that the media is outing the judge who made a prior decision to sentence the defendant to a drug program instead of prison. They are showing the judge's photo and questioning his legal capacity. I find that quite interesting and wonder why they don’t do the same when judges, prosecutors, cops and others in the judicial system wrongfully convict innocent people or purposely hide, withhold or fabricate evidence that leads to incarceration or even death of innocent people... Why isn't the media just as diligent or committed to exposing bad players in the legal system when the lives of ordinary citizens are also tragically ended or disrupted? All lives do matter so why shame this judge and not others? Just Wonderin'...

Condolences to the officer's Family and all others who have lost loved ones or lifetimes in the pursuit of "justice" in America. Our system is terribly flawed...
