People usually don’t see the value in you unless they really, really need you. And boy--- does everyone take advantage of the poor. And you guessed it right, the criminal injustice system. There was a study done by the then President Obama justice system which gave detailed information on the cronyism and down right scam that took place in Ferguson, Missouri. From Police Officers to as high up as city council and judges were all in on the scheme to write tickets, oppress undeserving communities, all the while building up an arsenal  of military style weapons and vehicles. Yet the least of these, the poor could not make bail and black and brown people ended up serving two to three times longer sentences than their white counterparts. :90 The Rich Man  Does It Again I have no problem with anyone being rich. As a matter of fact I aspire one day to be a wealthy man, and pass an inheritance on to my kids and their kids. I believe that creating wealth for our family tree is an awesome thing. And people shouldn’t be penalized just because they made something better of themself. So---here is my issue. My issue is the scales of justice needs to be balanced. The entire system of bail should be thrown out and deemed as unconstitutional. There is nothing Biblical about keeping an innocent man or woman locked up, just because he or she could not make bail. Its not right and it needs to be changed immediately. Donald Trump Said What?:30 Take Em To Church: There are a lot of loopholes and sideways deals in our criminal injustice system. But as far as I’m concerned, those that are poor and less fortunate shall not fall through the cracks just because they didn’t have the money and or resources to vouch for their innocence. :15 Ad spot: Speak Up!
