US citizens: call on the US government to block bank mergers that lead to insufficient local competition.

The wrecker is threatening to launch his followers against the prosecutors investigating him. He did not explicitly tell them to do it with violence, but they won't be slow to think of that.

Israeli cops allegedly use Pegasus spyware to track Netanyahu's personal enemies, as well as others.

A Tennessee thug has been found guilty of using excessive force against people as he was arresting them.

There is no implication that it was wrong to arrest them; that is not the issue at hand.

2800 American convicts have been exonerated in the past 30 years, after trials that gave a mistaken wrong result. Worse, it many cases it was not an innocent mistake — these trials were deliberately undermined.

All of these wrong convictions could have been avoided if the prosecutors and judges had respected the rights of the suspects.

The convictions that have been overturned were surely just a fraction of the total.

How significant is it, whether those that undermined a trial did so because they wanted to frame someone, or because they had jumped to the conclusion that the suspect was guilty?

Morally, it makes a difference, because the framer has crossed an additional moral line. However, when there is a tendency to jump to the conclusion that people of a certain group are guilty — as there is with blacks — the result is systemic injustice even if none of the thugs involved believes perself to be framing someone innocent.
