"It all goes back to how the prosecutors presented their case against Servin during opening argument. They argued officers are deployed to “serve and protect.” They suggested “our officers” typically “live up” to a “tradition of excellence,” meaning they don’t recklessly shoot civilians while off-duty. Servin’s case, however, was the “exception to the rule.”
The fish rots from the head.
In order to preserve a Mars-ruled empire, warriors never have to say they are sorry.
When orders from on high promote torture, if this sickening practice manages to be exposed, the excuse will be “a few bad apples.”
When orders from on high promote the use of drones that customarily kill 90 civilians for every 10 “enemy kills,” the Mars-rules “law of war” is propped up to justify these homicidal statistics.
When orders from on high tell cops that citizens are enemy combatants, and a few “accidents” happen, the Mars-driven power structure will protect its own.
Note the parallels between drone killings and NO accountability on the part of martial power; and the footage of civilians shot down in Iraq (leaked by Chelsea Manning) getting mostly a pass while the truth teller went to prison.
There’s a case in N.Y. where the individual who shot the fatal footage of naked police brutality is in prison while the “proud” officer is protected as a man in uniform.
Membership–in the club of Rome in the form of fraternities baptized in the blood of war and conquest for centuries–has its privileges… until this dark archetype is overthrown from its long hegemonic claim & control over humanity.
Until then, more proof that Mars rules:
“Truthout investigative reporter Sarah Macaraeg recently studied 25 fatal shooting cases in 2012 in 2013 that the Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA) closed. “All of the shootings were deemed justified,” according to Macaraeg. “Investigations lasted an average of 16 months—10 months beyond the time limit recommended by the US Department of Justice.”
