Self-Sustained Protectorate: How laws are changed.

Welcome to the show! On today's show, I'll discuss the further revelations in the case of Officer Darren Wilson and I'll also cover events taking place in Furgeson MO. The U.S. Attorney General's office has become involved and is conducting their own investigation as well as autopsy. Eric Holder has released a number of statements asking that the residents of Furgeson peacefully protest while the investigation continues. The Media's interference with the investigation makes it difficult for law enforcement to conduct a proper investigation in the respect that news stories could possibly taint witnesses testimony. The medical examination of Darren Wilson shows that Wilson did in fact receive serious bodily injury at the hands of Michael Brown just moments before Wilson shot and killed Brown. Wilson was found to have a fractured eye socket from punches delivered by Brown. This physical evidence also seems to further corroborate Darren Wilson's version of events. What's happening in Ferguson MO is important to the country and this show, because it is an example of how national tragedy or national influence is used to change or alter laws. Already there is talk of mandating that all law enforcement officers be required to use body cameras. Civil rights laws are being reviewed and could change as a result of the investigation. However, the results of this case may not matter so far as laws being changed go since all it takes is political pressure which is often stirred up by inaccurate media reports. I've spoken before on how laws are changed, and the mechanism for how they are changed. Laws are changed through political pressure that is put onto the legislative body of a government. Even though the U.S. is not a democracy, it's the loudest voices and the largest money that get the ear of the government so far as to change or create new laws. Please enjoy the show! -Adam
