Break your own rules, lose your moral authority

Bronx: It’s time to finally grow up and stop acting as childish as McDonald Rump. So Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder (photo) talks about the Chinese spy balloon. If we spy on other nations (Edward Snowden revealed we even spy on 100% of our friends and allies, yikes) then we cannot complain one iota about China, Russia or anyone spying on us. Even children are more mature, as they understand basic fairness and brazen hypocrisy. Even Rump was more mature than the press and the Dem/GOP machine: He famously asked why Russia interferin­g in our elections is that bad when our CIA has been doing it for 50 years in other nations.

It’s the same with all our law enforcemen­t: macho meathead hypocrites. Do as I say, not as I do — Stalinism 101. Power corrupts. That should be on our money and on our license plates! Step one is nanny cams on every one of them. No more qualified immunity for cops and no more absolute immunity for judges. You only give immunity to criminals, remember? Either a judge broke the law or they did not. That’s the metric we use in America.

And for heaven’s sake, you can’t keep having the police investigat­e themselves and then be prosecuted by fellow law enforcers and district attorneys. That’s why we have never weeded out all the bad cops. They investigat­e themselves. That’s unconstitu­tional! And we’ve seen that it only increases police misconduct!

The jury is in: This system is not just, and every day you keep doing this stuff, you turn the world against you. Is there not one adult in charge?
