RE: Police Brutality, Politics, and Popular Opinion
Innocent until proven guilty. It's one of the most powerful principles in our democracy. Sadly, it's being trampled on by the powerful and those who think they may one day be powerful - ie our masses of "temporarily embarrassed millionaires".
It's a very weak principle, and democracy is its greatest threat. Popular opinion is easily swayed by corrupt politicians, after all.
