The Authorities - by Moses

  When a person thinks of the role of the authorities they usually think in terms of up-keeping the law.  How many people have been stereotyped and persecuted?  When a 'Black' man smokes a joint why was the reality arrest after arrest, before the legalization of pot?  In one summer in Kensington Market, Toronto of 2009 there were countless arrests of 'Blacks' in the park on simple 1 gram dealing of cannibas.  This was so obscene that it leaves one to wonder if the authoritative bodies that are supposed to be non-prejudice are actually following a game plan to further prejudice.

  Should we trust the authorities with the home of four people when they may be discriminated against by authoritative practices that are currently in place?   As a Torontonian I hope this not to be the case.  But what happens when a 'White' man lashes out with N-bombs at a 'Black' guy in a public park.  Does the aggressor in this case get taken in for questioning?  The answer is no by current authoritative bodies.  They're either free on Freedom of Speech, or taken to a psychiatric ward if the aggressor is aggressive with the authorities.  The problem is that if a 'Black' man lashes out with an N-bomb, how does it look when the 'Black' man sees imprisonment and the 'White' guy sees the psych ward?

  Should the home accept governing bodies looking in to the home?  I say for this reason that a persons' domicile can be redefined at any point in time to prevent 'Big Brother' from looking in.
