We all know how the song goes..."cops on the corner always ignore, somebody's getting paid."
I stated in an earlier post, back in the early 90s to 2003 I worked for some "people", I even unknowingly assisted with money laundering for a couple of years for them.
This isn't even half of what all has and IS still going on. The only thing that "blows me away" is how the majority of the "dealings" take place right in front of the general public, yet hardly anybody ever suspects a thing, as the key players, are such well respected, fine upstanding, pillar's of the community.
Unfortunately, for those who do realize what is going on, what can they do?
90% of the stuff sounds like something you would see in a movie or read from a book, friends, neighbors, etc. won't believe you, until they see it for themselves. Of course, then they're in the same boat, until you can get thousands of others to "see it" and the protesting begins.
The majority of the police don't care, unless it's coming down to a case of them going down in the process. The truly honest police nowadays, are few and far between.
The gov't won't do anything, because at least half of the officials are just as corrupt, if not more so.
When they do, they always whitewash the heck out of it, select a few disposables to set as the "we caught the ringleaders public examples" , public is happy and then it's forgotten again, until the next time. Rinse and repeat.
Even with the best scenario where the majority of the officials are honest, the few dishonest cover tracks, alter the paper trails etc. making it nearly impossible to get evidence and a conviction in most cases.
As far as Tice goes, I think he's just another nauplius out of the world's great oceans.
