When citizens destroy neighborhoods because of rage and we are asked to “understand” and “sympathize,” what we are being asked is to have compassion for rage. Well, what about the rage of the cops who see their efforts thwarted daily by a system that returns an endless parade of human debris to the streets to commit more crime?… How about a little “understanding” and “sympathy” for them and what they face every day? At present, there is less than one chance out of a hundred that a criminal who commits a serious crime will serve time in jail. Law-abiding people are fed up with this.
