When a police chief and prosecutor protect a murderer, are they part of organized crime?

When a police chief protects a murderer (several eye witnesses and other compelling evidence) and shows his hand through prejudicial future jury tampering, he cannot be seen as doing his job, protecting the public.

When his buddy, the local prosecutor, fails to put an apparent murderer in jail pending investigation and/or trial like any normal citizen, he and the police chief can no longer be viewed as part of an unbiased "justice system".

No, IMO, they are now part of an organized crime syndicate

Same loyalty and internal protection. They have a sense of entitlement, being above the law they are hired to protect and enforce. They are a power group wherein a hierarchy exchange runs between them and the political ranks...unilaterally.

You can get an independent autopsy in 3 days, yet the State's autopsy results still has not been released. HMMM....

If it can be proven, yes absolutely. Its a federal crime falling under rico which basically is designed to facilitate prosecution of criminal enterprises, i.e organized crime.

I would not be the least bit surprised if the "White Power" movement hasn't been working in an orchestrated way to move their members into positions in law enforcement and local government.
