Criminal Mentality

Cops routinely lie to criminal suspects in order to gain their trust and trick them into confessing. Thy system then uses any information thus dishonestly obtained in order to "punish" the "criminal". If you doubt this, or don't realize the routine prevalence of this systematic deception, then all you need to do is watch some reality police show like "COPS" (to see how they lie to criminals on the streets), or "The First 48" (to see how it's done at the police station interviews), or "Jail" (to see how they use deception to manage inmates). And if that's not enough to convince you, then consider the reason behind the Federally required Miranda warning.

The lies are part of a police officers training, so it's not some sort of covert conspiracy that only a select few know about. But what few people do realize is the way this systematic deception ends up instilling a strong sense of betrayal and distrust in the people who are directly and grievously injured by it; the so-called "criminals". To see this you have only to imagine what it must be like, to be a naive and trusting young person, caught stealing, or with drugs, and some cop tells you that "things will be much worse if you're not honest". So you tell him the truth, only to learn later that everything you say is in fact used against you, and things were not "easier" because you were honest at all, but much much worse! Only a completely retarded moron wouldn't learn quickly and painfully not to trust the police. And that is the defining characteristic of the so-called "criminal mentality" that directly leads to and supports all the other sub-characteristics and traits of said same mentality!

It's just one more example of how our so-called "criminal justice system" promotes the very crime it purports to protect us all from. Everyone knows the direct relationship that "criminal mentality" (distrust of authority) has on crime. It is a well publicized and oft quoted relationship that the police themselves use perversely to explain the necessity of their authority in the first place. They claim that because of such "anti-social" people, a "police force" is required to keep order in modern society (though they usually associate said "order" with "law" by calling it "law and order" in order to promote the concept and status of "law" as well, implying that without law there would be only dis-order - i.e. chaos - a claim that natural history belies by the way).

This should all come as no surprize. It is, after all, the exact same mechanism of social control that the Catholic church has used since Rome turned to religion as a means of social control via control of "the Truth" (i.e. deception).
