Madison, Wisconsin — Innocent people should never fear the police. But they do, and with justification.
Innocence means nothing in police culture and operations, and the state judiciary system will snuff out a life with no qualms.
Cops are out to inflict, defame, arrest, fine, harass and kill the innocent, especially if the innocent are black and brown. Hence, jurists' advice to citizens: Never talk to police, they're ignorant and malicious.
Police action against the innocent is often illegal, and police get it away it every day because in Wisconsin, there is a cult of the police in media, in the Democratic and Republican parties, in the judiciary, everywhere.
To little fanfare, Ladarius Marshall will be a free man after 12 years behind bars, after being feisted upon by Wisconsin cops as a 16-year-old in 2008.
Mr. Marshall filed a successful habeas petition in federal court, (Schuldt, Wisconsin Justice Initiative).
The habaus petition was successful and prosecutors declined to bring new charges, so blatant is the violation of fundamental rights in Mr. Marshall's case.
This is Wisconsin, and Marshall is not alone in being forced to deal with dirty cops who have not apologized to Marshall.
There reamins of course the still-imprisoned innocents, Brendan Dassey, Steven Avery and Penny Brummer. Untold more remain behind bars.
Consider that. These are innocent people behind bars, and Wisconsin law enforcement has and will do anything, illegal and legal, to keep them there.

Stay tuned.
.@GovEvers @LGMandelaBarnes why not #BrendanDassey ? Have you reviewed the petition on its merits? This will be Brendan as soon as you do. It is time to #FreeBrendanDassey https://t.co/hRfN0tRoBq

Steven Avery’s commitment to his innocence is both profound & enduring. His physical & emotional survival is in evidence of that. 33 years of his 38 adult years have been spent wrongfully convicted & his pursuit of justice for All concerned is truly inspirational. pic.twitter.com/D1Ovxm5gxe
