There is no excuse for this.

It's about using whatever underhanded means available to crucify and convict innocent people in order to make the LE look good, regardless of actual proof.

It's why junk science like blood splatter, bite marks, lie detectors, etc have lasted so long.

Add to that Law Enforcment scammers like Tracy Harpster, whom founded '911 call analysis' which is used to try and turn 911 emergency callers into criminals based on the listeners bias, etc. with not much recourse for the person accused to dispute it.

It's all about the scammers and what they make from the scam, whether it be selling useless equipment, (Lie detectors) attending paid seminars hosted by the scammmers, (as is how the '911 call analysis gets pushed) etc. They don't care how many innocent people get up in it, they care only about the results that make them look good. ( and justify more taxpayer money funding these crooked schemes.)

As a trained mental health professional of course some 911 calls raise questions.
But some of the analysis makes no sense and is not based on science.

He has a Facebook page, and the only responses I ever get from him are 'Fuck you"

Disclaimer: I ask him questions like, "Does it feel good to railroad innocent people in distress, you piece of shit?"

Some of it we now know is brain wiring and DNA.
Some of it is learned behavior.

These "labs" are overworked and a lot of the criminal justice sysyem is focused on winning cases rather than having truth adjuicated.

matters in this country on any subject at all... but especially "justice." We supposedly have a system where Justice is paramount... not retaliation and retribution. However, all that's ever considered is how much "punishment" is meted out. Not whether the person is actually innocent or not. I know there's not an easy answer to an adversarial system, but when prosecutors and others are known to withhold truth or exculpatory evidence, there's just something wrong clear down into the fundamentals, IMO.

But I'm still so mad at all the turncoating and voter suppression (if not outright fraud) of this election, that I'm really wanting to see someone give the IOKIYAR excuse when caught... and then push that as far as they can push it. We either have laws or we don't. We don't have laws for one person and not for the other person. And yet, it seems that's exactly where we're at -- even when we're talking about treason.
