the policing system is one part of the empire that is obviously broken and such items as the following illustrate that. bad cops don't get in trouble but just have to find a new police force to join. they're rarely charged with the crimes they commit. whistleblowing cops get fired. the upshot is that little girls get killed by cops as there are no consequences;
Sharon Hill, PA — When 8-year-old Fanta Bility and her family attended a high school football game back in August, they never imagined that their worst nightmare would come true that night. Sadly, however, thanks to a group of trigger happy police officers using excessive force, that is exactly what happened. Now, because cops in America don’t hold themselves accountable for their own actions, they are charging two teenage boys with Fanta’s murder — despite the fact that she died at the hands of police guns.
As Fanta and her family walked out of the game that night, police opened fire into their group, killing Fanta and wounding several others, including her older sister. It has been nearly three months since little Fanta took her last breath and no officers have been charged — only two teens who happened to be fighting nearby.
Angelo “AJ” Ford, 16, and Hasein Strand, 18, face first-degree murder, aggravated-assault, and gun charges in the shooting, according to Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer.
Stollsteimer said that charges against Ford and Strand are an “important step in [his] office’s continuing effort to seek justice for Fanta.” However, erroneously charging two teens who did not kill Fanta, with Fanta’s murder, is hardly seeking justice for anyone.
The legal basis for charging the two teens “is very simple,” First Assistant District Attorney Tanner Rouse said in a statement, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. “They were attempting to kill one another that night, and as a direct result a little girl is dead.”
But if we review the facts of the case, other than the two boys trying to hurt each other, they were nowhere near Fanta and had nothing to do with her death other than triggering a few gun crazy cops — who were the ones who actually killed Fanta.
According to the family’s attorney Bruce L. Castor, the girl’s family filed a lawsuit which “seeks answers and damages for the tragic and unnecessary death … and the injury and trauma inflicted on others as a result of the misconduct of Sharon Hill Police officers.”..........read more.........
