'LADY JUSTICE' ARE YOU NAKED?

'LADY JUSTICE' ARE YOU NAKED? The failure of the New York grand jury to indict the choke-holding cop in the Eric Garner case cannot be so easily rationalized away, nor reconciled with legal principles of equal justice for all! Following the Michael Brown killer's non-indictment, and Trayvon Martin's killer's acquittal, at trial; one wonders whether cops can ever be indicted by a grand jury or convicted by a petit jury for the "stand your ground" killing of unarmed black boys in America? This naturally raises this question: "Whether there are cops who have, as brazenly, killed whites; if there are such: "Were they also indicted; and, if so, were they also later acquitted?" As bad as both, present non-indictments are/were, some may, and I might, at least, find some kind of solace in their legal equivalency, if the same outcome were true for whites. The outcome of many things pivots, perilously, on these precise points of law: For my peace of mind, if for no other's. Bluntly, where there is no equal application of law, there is no legal legitimacy in the judicial system. Lacking such legitimacy, repression and oppression reign, not of justice. If there are no similar cases for whites, as for blacks, then, Lady Justice's blind fold has come off, also her Grecian gown, revealing her as she is, racist, gross, ghoulish, white, whose uneven scales are mockeries.
