"In the criminal justice system,
the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders."
How many times have you heard this phrase repeated? Probably thousands.
And yet we are shocked when the district attorneys manipulate grand juries to exonerate the police of culpability in serious crimes including murder.

Bring back cops like Lennie Briscoe.
Never said any better. Also, when was the time when Lennie gunned anybody down?
RIP.
Here's to him. ( I apologize for this link. I really thought this would be a video of his great quips as Briscoe. It isn't. It's a bunch of stills from L&O with a lot of soporific music.)
Jerry Orbach as Lennie Briscoe. Make sure you read through why he donated his eyes before his death.
Yup! He was fictional. But one of the good ones. If only reality was the same.
Skäl, to Lennie Briscoe.
