And that's just the tip of the FBI corruption iceberg...
Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

No. The FBI as an organization has never been corrupt, and Hoover was extremely dedicated. You have to understand that the Black Panthers were -- and still are -- a clear and present danger to the country.
Another thing, these were WW2 veterans we're talking about. For the most part, when their bosses said "jump", they asked "how high?" if they had any questions at all. That's not corruption. That's a sense of duty and obedience that has long since largely dissipated. In their era, it meant survival.
Lummy, can I talk to you a minute in the real world?
You are wrong about police.
If what I said in my post is not the case, and I believe it is the case for the most part, the problem is technological and the fact that intrusion and invasion are what technology today is primarily good for. Wealthy techs like Zuckerberg really only rationalize the billions they make in technology, never that it is the problem and one that is essentially outlaw at its core. It is anti-Constitution.
