On 1-26-26, the Washington Post penned an editorial for: "How do you think the lack of accountability for federal officers impacts public trust in law enforcement?", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:
"Our moral failure lies in the frailty of our vision and not in our hearts. Our undoing is in our collective willingness to trust those whom we shouldn't, those who invariable used our best instincts against us." (Quoted from the Epilogue of James Lee Burke's book "Crusader's Cross.)
Maybe there's something more mortal than accountability that is the causation for lack of public trust in law enforcement. Maybe we have government leadership that undermines the sources of accountability being kept from the discovery of sunshine. Maybe the media is remiss in the task of keeping the public informed for needed expansion of their thought process, eh?
