ALL FROM THE SAME SWAMP.

       Just another case of the authorities and the police closing ranks  when accusations of police violence surface. One needs the other, so they will always cozy-up and support each other.

This from Polizeros:

    Hundreds of Vermonters have called for an independent investigation of police violence in Burlington last July, but city officials including the mayor, the police chief, and now the five members of the city police commission have joined in effectively stonewalling any outside review of what led some police officers to shoot rubber pellets and pepper spray at non-violent and fleeing demonstrators.

If you learn that rate-rigging and regulatory failures are systemic, but stay quiet, well, perhaps you have shown that you are genuinely reliable and deserve membership of the club.

Her Heading:

        "The media's 'bad apple' thesis no longer works. We're seeing systemic corruption in banking – and systemic collusion." is the only conclusion available. But then again we always new that.
