For those of you who watched coverage of the recent incident in LA, in 
which an LA policeman deliberately set up a Hispanic motorist to resist
arrest so that the policeman could fire on the motorist, you will have
noticed local `interviews' with police trainers' earnestly explaining that
the LA cop was not going by the book.

Actually, what the LA cop did is the paradigm for what has been going on in
U. S. law enforcement for several decades, and he was trained to do exactly
what he did, despite official denials.  The method is to set up the suspect
to appear to resist arrest, then murder the suspect.  That method was the
one used in the Idaho and Waco massacres, and will probably be used in the
current Texas standoff as well.  (Unless, that is, the suspects give up
before they are murdered, and give up publicly in such a way that noone 
could possibly interpret their behavior as a form of armed resistance.)

What amazes me is that, under the protection of free speech and freedom 
of the press, our press puts forward mendacious stories designed to 
subvert our constitution by misleading citizens about its interpretation.

I think that federal and state laws should be enacted making it a felony
for any news medium to report `news' so as to substantially deny viewers
the correct understanding of the laws that govern such incidents.  I also
think that, e. g., television stations that report `latest scientific
breakthroughs' which are bogus, i. e., not reported in referreed journals,
ought to be prosecuted for committing felonies.
