SO YOU'HATE COPSS me by Kenneth Deneen

So you hate copsg wells I guess Ilve
heard that said a thousand or more
times° Nowg Ild like to ask you: Why do
you hate cops? Have you ever wondered
what this old world would be like withe
out some type of police force? N02
Well,9 letVs think about it for a bite
Sit back and let your mind run rampant
for awhilea Think about the rank
jungles of Africa9a or South America with
their various native tribesg and the
vicious annual kingdomw Who rules the
jungles? They have no police force& or
have they?

Would you care to walk down a street
many streets with your wifeg mother or
cilaughter‘9 and wonder if you will have to
kill.9 or be killed in order to protect
them from some vile perverts a muggerg
or a hopped up junkieo Even with the
many police officers in the land todayg
there are certain sections where it is
much too dangerous to walk after dark
without a gun in your hand to protect
yourselfo Just stop and think of what
it would be like without any police
forcel

Hating a cop nor anyone elsem is in
realitys a form of hate for yourselfg
due to a failure on your own part‘9 in
conforming with societies standards» and
moralso You hate a cop for doing his
jobs and at the same time you have feelm
ings of resPect for the dentist9 for
extracting your teethg and the finance
company for taking your money at outs
landish interest rateso

Have you ever been robbedg or attacked?
Have your house broken into‘9 or had your
car stolen? Who came to your aid? It
certainly waant a cOp hater like the
people in New York City that watched”
and listened to a poor young girl scremn
for help while a man stabbed hora lofts
and returned to stab her againo How
would you like those people for neighe
bore? If any body came to your aid it
was probably the police° So maybes just
maybes those guys are useful for some=
thing besides giving out ticketss and
arresting us poor missused.g and "bum
rappedWoons° I for one.9 will probably

always have a feeling of animosity toe
wards the polices buts for the sake of
my relatives?9 and my song I am grateful
that there is someone keeping the peaceg
and looking out for their welfareo

The big headlines in our recent newSe
papers have been going into vivid detail
of riot torn sections in Various citieso
Those riots abut for the policew could
have turned into another civil war very
easilye Everything9 and everylody'needs
a "checkmate" of some typeg and in our
societies it is the police that maintain
the peace that we do haveo During war
time» it is the armies of the world that
bring us peace» If you have never been
in a full fledged riots or in the death
struggles of armed warfare9 it will be
pretty hard for you to understand the
fears.9 and conflicts within your mindo
Only a fool would want to return to such
a state of chaos as is a wars or riote

QUOTE THE LATI‘JYER‘9 EVERMORE
-e via OP News

"Men are being executed for crimes
haven't committed," states Erle
Gardner, noted author-attorney0 "Some
mistakes can't be correctedo Like the
mistakes of executing innocent men."

. they
ctanley

In an interview with Gardners Hal Evans9
reporter for America's largest weekly
newspaper, heard about this shocking
problem. Gardner doesn‘t argue against
capital punishment on moral grounds but
because "If you make a mistake, you
can't bring the dead back to life."

"What we are doing
whose guilt isn't clear beyond a
Our courts are making mistakes and itVs
usually the poor man who suffers." He
says that the death penalty is unjust
because jurors are only human and semen
times make mistakesa These jurors will
convict some innocent men and will set
some guilty men freee

is killing people
dDUbt -

Gardner, creator of Perry'Masona should
know what he is talking about. He has
spent 50 of his 75 years as a successful
criminal lawyers investigating possible
miscarriages of justice. His efforts to
keep innocent men out of prison have
extended into the Ohio Penitentiary in
the past.

He pointed out that as many as five in
100 men are convicted of crimes they
didn't commit. If he is right, more
than 11,000 innocent men are in prison.

"However, maybe three of those five who
are wrongly convicted should be in pris»
on for some other crime," he admitted.
"It's the other two I worry about."

Gardner gets stirred up when he hears a
man is to be executed for a crime he may
not have committedo

"Why does this happen?"

"Because the police have a whole army of
investigators to prove a man's guilt,
but the poor man charged with a crime
has no funds for investigation to prove

his innocenceo It's nearly impossible
for him to get all the facts he needs to
clear himself.

"If he could, we would approach true
justice _ and be able to prove innocence
not just prove guilt."

He feels that "Too many prosecutors are
worried about the box score of convic-
tions. They don't like to see acquit-
tals, even when the defendant might be
innocent."

Once a man is arresteds he is presumed
innocent until proven guilty. After
conviction, he is presumed guilty until

proven innocent.

"How can a man locked up in prisonlw
expected to do that? What we need are
state governors with enough guts to
appoint independent investigators for
cases where there might be a mistake
of justice."

0n the issue of paroles, Gardner says
men get into prison by their own actions
and should get out the same way.

"If they are ready for freedom in 50
days, regardless of their crimes, they
should be released. I'm against priSOn
releases accomplished merely by tearing
pages off a calendar."

When asked9 "Is American justice really
bad?" Gardner answered "No. Sure there
are injustices in our courts, but I am

sure that far more guilty men are ac-
quitted here than innocent men are
convicted:

"we have darn good laws. I just want

them to be better."

‘—

"In the federal courts alone, there are
a Substantial number of persons who are

charged with crimes but who are not
guilty. Over h,000 federal criminal
cases are dismissed each year. Of the

more than h,500 additional defendanm
who elect to go to trial, l,h00 or near-
ly 50 percent are acquitted."

no amount of paint can change the fact
that the chapel has been standing on the
hill for 70 years. The same is true
with human life. A new suit of clothes
"may make a person look good on the outm
”side, but it takes more than a suit of
clothes to make a mans The Bible teaches
that, "if a man be in Christ he is a new

creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new;"
(II Cor. 5:17).

Jesus described certain people in His

day as "white sepulchress which indeed
appear beautiful outwards but are within
full of dead men’s bonesg and of all unm
cleanness." (Matt. 23:27). Jesus was
talking about people who had a form of
godliness but did not possess any of the
power of God. The old must be replaced
by the new. This is certainly true as
far as a person entering the kingdom of
God. Jesus told one of the religious
leaders among the Jews that "except a
man be born again (anew:9 or from above)s
he cannot see the kingdom of GOdo"
(John 5:3).

Reformation is not enougho A person can
turn over a new leaf, make resolutions
and still be the same miserable individ—
ual. Regeneration» the creating of a
lnew nature, is the thing that is neededo
When a person committs his life to Gods
by faith in Jesus Christa he is given a
new nature. The Bible iS' filled with
"exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of
the divine natures having escaped the
corruption that is in the world through
lust." (II Peta 13h).

FATHER THOMAS CLARK, CATHOLIC CHAPLAIN ‘

Every four years about this time, and
every year to a lesser degree, the locai
and national politicians engage in A
contest of public deceptiono As the
various candidates reluctantly accept
speaking engagements they become ac;
customed to hearing themselves introdw»
ed in the this somewhat general tone: ,
"I give you a great American.9 a dedicate
ed man, a man who knows the needs of the
people, and finally a man of GREAT INe.‘
TEGRITY," etco etc. 0 .‘Would that candr§
dates did possess great integrity.

Integrity is, in its perfection, a very
rare virtue. Strictly speaking it is a
quality which does not admit of degrees;
you have got it or you haven’t mm likea
taste for modern art or sulphur watmt
The word integrity comes from the Latin
and means "whole" m nothing left mm
nothing up the sleeve. Yet we know of
people who have more of it than others;
we talk of people being "more or less
straight" when what we mean is that they
are crookedo It is a virtue which ’3
umnistakable; the sincere man, the per-
son who is forthright and open in hﬁ
dealings with others stands out at once.
Integrity has come to mean "straight-'
ness." When we say "Give me your canﬁd
opinion” very often we are asking a per
son to be as brutal as you like;ii 5
Should, however; be an invitation'w
speak the truths to avoid duplicityo

Peeple will tell you that it is hyTO‘
crisy to behave pleasantly towards tmme
for whom one feels a violent dislﬂﬁé
But is it false to ex loit what littk
there is of good in one s nature, and W
stifle everything which is bad? Baht!
