Culmination

   Hopefully there is meaning to be found in recent protests surrounding Ferguson.

Foremost, thinking of the main issue here, accountability, and commencing the process that surrounds the entirety of the word for those feeling action by this.  In the constructive process, I see this not only with respect to issues such as having officers wearing video cameras, that increased dialogue and participation by communities with respect to the nature of policing policy and policing conduct found in any given community, that reformations are made in so far as how justice is applied in so far as criminal justice systems, but that there is even greater accountability in so far as the political representation of peoples.  Its not just that those economically disadvantaged are more likely to be tried and convicted as opposed to those in corporations that engage in criminal activity and get away with it.  Its that a system is slanted and skewed at representing best power, money, served best to get away with inflicting environmental destruction, hurting communities, in the absence of regulation, reform, and legal accountability more often.  Here regulation in such partisan culture is called the great 'Satan' while the evidence of evil in practice lay in clear and obvious view.  Corporations have even commenced in invading our penal systems, have provisioned mercenaries (that have operated at times with little legal accountability) involved in foreign wars, that one should likely continue to operate, and then having shielded itself from criminal law in the event of things like accounting irregularities, or if you hadn't followed so recently a corporate lawyer paid to the tune of several billion to remain silent on such practices, or has at times led (in the absence of revelations) to silent collusion of multi nationals in spying practices so widespread, that hundreds of millions of smartphone transmissions should be compromised and intercepted alone on a daily basis by government agencies that under the auspices of counter terrorism operations considers each and every individual in effect a suspect.  Its hard to understand why mainstream America supposedly relates to multi national protectionism here, or that those speaking out on any number of issues relating to ongoing and systemic abuses that have occurred over decades past, continue to do so because of the narrative that is paid in the often given media distribution cycle.   Not merely that civil liberties and democracy are thrown out the doors supposedly in the name of freedom.   While privilege and 'entitlement' is often politically laced in charged rhetoric of particular partisan divide, in diversionary calls, it is often 'privilege' and 'entitlement' given to those in power that weigh heavily upon the suppression of rights of individuals.  While playing upon the subdivisions of society, in self maintenance and tolerance of systemic abuses.   This isn't merely an issue, in my opinion solely related to law enforcement alone, if the systems of justice that law enforcement work upon are directed in ways that tolerate and allow for the continuance of such abuses and that the mainstreams of society should be hoodwinked into believing why it is that such a wholesale investment is made in the loss of freedoms, and to this extent loss in democracy.

The array of issues here are huge and predominant, and unfortunately overwhelming at times in contemplation, since at times representation of so many of these issues could be parsed into many divisions in so far as social and political representation.   I wonder or at least am afraid that no longer the same considerable ingredients exist in representing clearly in terms of leadership a given wide array found.
