The Injustice of Non Violent Crimes

When women who are homeless or addicted to drugs prostitute to survive, the police set up stings to put them out of business by “locking them up.”They harm no one. They risk their own lives and health to survive. The men who solicit these women have the choice to risk getting Aids or STD’s. It is their responsibility to be faithful to their mates. They are no less guilty of committing the act than the man, but she is the one punished. (injustice.)

Those who risk getting cancer by smoking cigarettes, or liver disease from drinking to much, are not arrested and jailed for their bad behavior. The only difference is that one is illegal and the other is legal. If a puddle sits in the middle of a crosswalk, and the pedestrian walks around the puddle by going outside the Cross lines, a cop pounces on him with a jay walking ticket, or a ride to jail.

If it is raining outside and a person just got off the bus from his job, and all he wants is to get home from work, he better not cut across an empty lot for a short cut, or her risks the “hunters of the poor” to pop up and arrest him for “trespassing.” Jail time rakes in $100.00 a day from taxpayers, to provide judicial officials guaranteed income. Lawyers, judges, detectives and police ride the wave of “easy money” by arresting as many people as they can. Their goal is to accumulate numbers to fill the jails. Curbing crime is simply words to cover up the injustices they commit.

A few friends get together in their back yard for a bar-b-que. They are drinking beers out of a can or bottle instead of putting it into a cup. The police patrol rides by and “Wham.” they are arrested for having open containers in public sight, in their own yard.  A homeless person has no place to go. He sits on the curb to rest. Along comes societies “angels of light,” curbing crime. The homeless man is arrested for “loitering” and off to jail he goes.Taxpayers ignore the manipulations and lies, in the game of “rip off taxpayers” by way of punishing the poor for being poor. Anyone who has ever lived in a poor neighborhood I am sure can relate to these injustices committed by our police.

Those living in wealthy neighborhoods never experience the same types of harassment  and false accusations by the police and courts. Unsolved murders turn into cold cases, because the police profit more by arresting “Masses of no violent, petty criminals, who comit acts that most citizens consider, No big deal.”
