Gregory's ServerHey guys, I fully recognize the distinction between a cop and a district attorney, and I agree that the distinction matters.
I also know that when I write posts, I sometimes have to make an editorial choice between pithiness and total complete accuracy. And in this case, I decided that "cop" was pithier than "authorized agent of the judicial system which systematically brutalizes minorities in ways that are equally horrible but legally distinct from the ways in which police do".
Okay?
@Lana I have a pithified quote from a lawyer acquaintance that goes "I quit being a prosecutor when I got tired of putting poor people into prisons." The ones who only stopped prosecuting because they got elected to a better office never hit their limit.
Putting rich people into prisons, on the other hand... if it happened more often, maybe I'd feel more generous to prosecutors.
