What do you expect with a white supremacist as Attorney General? "Law and order" has always been a dog-whistle phrase and Jeff Sessions has been blowing it for decades. The bourgeois dictatorship is going to stand behind its enforcers. Anyone who doesn't believe that the domestic military has orders to shoot to kill, is either not paying attention or sides with the oppressors.

Sessions doubles down on 'bidness as usual'. Meanwhile the stage is being set for for an all but exoneration of M Slager, they've all ready dropped murder charges. Young Roof might feel the hammer for his unauthorized mass murder but Slager, even with the most damning evidence possible, will pay a small price, for getting caught. One of those perks, I guess.
