We have some comman ground.

I don't get into the details of what happened much anymore, I have put it behind me.

I will say that it was a life changing event, completely changed my belief system regarding what I had dedicated my life too. I found out that it was all a lie and I had wasted 16 years of govt service between the Military and civil service. What I got out of it was I learned about people, what makes them tick and what motivates them and truely how almost no one is willing to make any personal sacrifice whatsoever to do the right thing. 99.5% of people will save their own ass every time and forget about doing what's right.

I'm not talking about rescuing cats out of trees and saving people out of burning houses, that's different than the type of sacrifice I'm talking about. I'm talking about doing the right thing and telling the truth.

Thats what the criminal justice system violates the most, (your trust). The entire culture of our system is built on trust and faith that good people are in positions of authority and are looking out for your best interests. The people in these positions understand that it's a fogone conclusion that they are telling the truth, even before they speak... They use this against you, the fact that you are supposed to trust them and that you wish to trust them, it makes it easy for them to take advantage of your trust. Believe me,,,, it happens fairly often.

They all are trained by the same organization, the playbook is standardized. All do it the same way because that's how they are trained.

Not all bad people by any means but when it comes down to it you don't want to be on the other side of things when one of them screws up and creats a situation where they have exposed the city or county to civil liability and subjected the "image" to being damaged.

When that happens they will do whatever it takes to "change history".
