"America is obsessed with law enforcement, there are now dozens and dozens of agencies, local, state, and federal some concerned with policing, some who are more like paramilitary organisations - thugs with a badge who like no more than to dress up and kill their fellow citizens - just investigate Waco."

There's a very appropriate Nietzsche quote(and he has lots of very appropriate quotes about almost everything):
“Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful.”
? Friedrich Nietzsche
That about sums up the US...punish all(except certain favoured groups, bankers, politicians, war criminals etc).
The other obscenity is the plea bargain, putting the defendant in the position of having to rationally decide to plead guilty to a crime he is innocent of to avoid an absurd sentence if he takes his chances in a trial where the prosecution can use any corrupt tricks they like , withholding evidence etc...
