Equal justice for all doesn’t exist

To the editor:

Why don't I hear the so-called 'pro-life religionists and lawmakers” (who attack Planned Parenthood and common sense birth control) make the same attack on the growing epidemic of law enforcement personnel (LEP) killing unarmed, or non-attacking, or nondangerous citizens? Why doesn't the 'right to life” apply after birth? Why doesn't 'thou shalt not kill” apply to government officials?

Another citizen gunned down by LEP and they're putting the blame on a dog that tried to protect its master, but no blame put on the LEP trigger-happy rambo training of use the most deadly kind of bullets available, aim for vital areas, keep shooting until the citizen is dead (rather than just stopped), because it is more convenient if only LEP testimony is heard, and the favored status our lawmakers and area prosecutors give to LEP. How can anyone be so duped as to believe we have 'equal justice for all” in our laws and justice system?

Did the common citizens get to vote on the above unwritten, un-publicized LEP policies, or were they initiated by LEP lobbyists and our elected lawmakers don't have the gumption and resistance to tell them 'no”?

The news told me that 50 LEP were killed by citizens in 2014 (more were killed in traffic crashes). But how many non-attacking citizens were gunned down by LEP? This letter is not 'anti-police,” but is 'anti-legalized murder.” Such shootings would be 'murder” if common citizens did them.
