It is surprising and praiseworthy that Harvard Law School accepts former police officers as students. As pointed out they bring real world experience to the academic halls of sheltered lives. Query: How many students has the Law School accepted who were victims of FBI or police abuses of power for personal, poltical or economic reasons? How many people whose lives were destroyed by the one corrupt cop of the department (or the corrupt office of the FBI, e.g., Boston) have been accepted as students? The Innocence Project focuses on wrongful homicide convictions. What about the thousands of persons who were prosecuted for lesser crimes, or slandered by the FBI, police or other government agencies?

Please share your unbiased wisdom with the uninformed and the prejudiced. How much of Harvard Law School's focus is exclusively on the Supreme Court of the US? How much is on the lower courts or even the (Ugh!) state courts where all of the damage is done to ordinary humans. The superior elitists with wisdom lacked by the masses show they are above the uninformed and prejudiced. Sorry to think that the uninformed are capable of rational thought or even common sense or (Gasp!) integrity which is usually lacking among Harvard lawyers. Police officers bring a lot of common sense to the law school. Do they bring admission of their errors too? Their abuses of power? Or are they like the usual elitist Harvard lawyers who have had their genes cleansed of mendacity, greed and sadism? Let's hope that some of it rubs off on the superior holders of wisdom. Now is there anywhere that integrity can be found to feed to the rest of the clueless Harvard lawyers?
