Louisville Burglary Victim Charged with Murder

Neat. Then apply that same standard when people who aren't cops shoot people with real bullets. The point is uneven treatment by the prosecutors office.

It is frustrating that not every good case can be prosecuted. The court system is pretty much broken and the jails don't have the capacity to keep all the dangerous folks locked up until trial. The prisons don't have enough room to keep all the people justly convicted, to serve their debt to society. Way too much plea bargaining and dropping or lowering of charges. Good cops get frustrated. The only thing that a good cop can depend upon is that time is on his/ her side. In the mean time, society suffers the abuse of thugs who should have been locked up a long time ago and the key thrown away. The same goes for bad cops. Eventually, their dirty deeds catch up with them. Bad people just can't stop and that is their achilles heel.

I have no idea. There's no simple answer or it would have already been done.

No disrespect but I think ya'll need more coffee.

This is the government we're talkin' about here. There could(?) be a simple, easy answer. Yet, due to the very nature of government it could easily fail to be implemented due to who's toes will be stepped on during implementation.

I agree that this appears to be a big problem. So how can we in the public fix it?

While it is the exception and not the rule to have such an option available, several years back I addressed a problem prosecutor by engineering a way to completely derail his ride to becoming a judge in spite of the fact both county chairmen took it as an article of faith that he was going to be the next judge.

I maintain that the county prosecutor's election is probably about the most important local election there is. Having a good, pro-self defense prosecuting attorney can make a county an awesome place to live, while having one who isn't can really enable the criminal elements out there.

Sadly, most people take no interest in the election, much less in finding good candidates to run. Plus, the bigger the population, the more the position becomes purely political with merit having relatively little to do with who runs or gets elected.

If you really care about your 2nd Amendment rights as well as getting justice in the court system, you really need to take an interest in finding/backing solid candidates for the position.
