There is a disturbing trend in many circles over the last ten years to not trust the police due to lynching of Black people, primarily but not exclusively men. It is right to be disturbed by this. Police who shoot unarmed civilians should be tried for murder.
They then take things to an extreme and do not report actual abuse, which makes these locations extremely dangerous. They create parallel justice systems designed by well-meaning fools who do not understand the American legal system or any legal system for that matter. They throw away everything required by modern democratic legal systems, which ends up creating systems similar to the legal systems our ancestors revolted against in the 1770s, which was a major reason for the United States seeking independence.
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
The obstructions of justice by the crown were so egregious that they needed two lines of the Declaration of Independence to cover how awful the system was.
America had already seen systems where an abundance of caution was the law in Puritan New England with the Salem Witch Trials. I do not need to go into detail about what happened there; it is why my family left New England. It was a horrible time.
In response to the abuses of the crown and with the memory of what happened in the Salem Witch Trials, the anti-Federalists pushed to ensure the federal government had less power to prevent a repeat of either situation. The result was the Bill of Rights, which includes many important liberties that protect our rights in courts of law.
The legal protections in the Bill of Rights are good and we know what happens today when they are not followed. If you study modern examples of Russia, the treatment of Palestinians, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, or North Korea, it becomes obvious why laws such as the right to face your accuser, due process, the right to a public jury, habeas corpus, and the right to a lawyer among others are essential to a fair legal system.
The problem with many “alternative methods” of justice is they still enforce a parallel justice system that is as brutal as possible in terms of punishment but without the protections of the American legal system. What inevitably is created is a system that is easily exploited by nefarious actors who seek to control others.
The solution to ending injustice is not to abolish the legal protections created to reduce abuses of power but to ensure that such legal rights are protected for all people.
We must remember where we came from as we seek a more just world.
