[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2617662, member: 118038"] I believe everyone should have a fair trial. And our tax dollars would be better spent on making sure even criminals get a decent attorney than defunding the police to waste the money on corruption and free stuff that politicians want to hand out, and when murderers, rapists, drug dealers are just let go on society, the costs are even higher in the end. So, I have no problem beefing up public defenders for criminals, vs. letting them go Scot free and defunding the police. But if they are convicted, they have to do hard time, no matter who they are, or what color they are, or how much money they do or dont have. There is no utopia and no nirvana. There can never be "perfect justice". But we need to do our best for the best justice that we can provide. That means punishing those who do wrong and are proven to have comitted crimes. Injustice is feeling sorry for the criminals and turning them loose on another innocent victim. I'll go for fair trials and fair representation, and fair jail time. Not no bail, no trial, no jail, no consequences, and no justice for victims. [/QUOTE]
