Esqueda's case emerged as a textbook example of the lengths that some departments - along with prosecutors and other powerful local officials - will go to punish whistleblowers and scare their colleagues into silence. By undermining his department's carefully crafted narrative around Lurry's death, Esqueda crossed a sacred line drawn through the world of American policing: the unwritten rule that cops should never snitch on one another.

"I knew it was going to be bad. And I was ready for it to be bad. I knew what I was going up against," Esqueda said. "But I never thought I was going to be sitting in jail. Not for telling the truth."

Serpico was a great film in the non-fiction genre.

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

Bunches of green clad fat farmers with badges bobbing around gulping Dramamine in .25 ft seas.
With a chumpf election ad wrap on it.
Heck with funding schools.

This is coming to an end. These cases are now going in front of juries that have don't act like the jurors of decades past.
