I think I’ve told the truth here, and I don’t see how it can be a “political” statement if i’m not agitating for any particular party, candidate, or anything really… Do what you have to do, but I didn’t break the rules as I see it, so either make up the rules or explain yourself.

**Moderator Note**

“Political” isn’t the same as “partisan.” I’ve explained to you before at considerable length that we don’t want to see inflammatory remarks in General Questions, since they tend to derail threads. If you want to discuss what you perceive to be the failings of the justice system, take it Great Debates.

You have an unfortunate habit of jumping into almost any thread relating to the police or legal procedures with rants about the justice system that are better suited to GD than GQ. I am instructing you to refrain from this in the future. Failure to comply with this could bring your continued posting privileges under discussion.

If you have further complaints about moderation, take it to ATMB.
