and how does denying people a proper trial after they have already been arrested help those normal people? all it does is give those normal people another thing to worry about - false imprisonment with no possibility of redress. you will now say that the trials are corrupt - if the trials are corrupt, then why not the cops? you will say that the trials are too soft - then change the law to enhance the sentences. you will say that the trials are too expensive, that criminals don't deserve trials, that they take too long, you will say a thousand things and none of them matter. if the point of the policy is public safety then there is no reason not to have trials because giving a detainee a proper trial does not undermine public safety in any way because the person is already fucking arrested. the point of the policy is not public safety. it's cruelty. it's to make a big show of force so that people like you clap along and feel good. it is the crudest and most evil form of appealing to the lowest common denominator, and you fell for it.
