Having lived
in numerous states and cities including New York City in the 80’s and
remembering well the news footage from of the police corruption before, during
and after Katrina I was convinced that New Orleans was the most corrupt city
making Louisiana the most corrupt state.
In the off
and on 25 years living in Las Vegas I virtually never had one single bad
experience with LVMPD leading me to the illusion that Metro was a great police
department.
Then after
moving to rural Arizona for a few years and experiencing political, judicial
and police corruption first hand, I was convinced that Arizona was the most
corrupt state of the union.
Now, being
back in Las Vegas for about 2 years now, I have come to the conclusion that corruption
in our entire country runs so deep that it is almost beyond repair.
I think the
moment of realization and awakening to political, judicial and police
corruption is different for everyone and depends much on if and when a citizen
themselves becomes either victim or close witness to the corruption ruling our
country, while some people will remain miraculously shielded from any exposure
to corruption and remain asleep.
The
corruption in our country is so severe and deep that for many people it is
unimaginable and the mere reading about it or even listening to even trusted
victims accounts is simply not enough to awaken some people, because the human
denial factor is so great that our mind simply will not accept the possibility
that everything we thought we knew and trusted was an utter and complete lie.
