Policing for Profit

Policing for profits and murder by police are nothing new to the United States or the state of Florida in particular.

In 1921 Martin Tabert was arrested for the heinous crime of VAGRANCY and murdered for that crime by the state of Florida. Initially he was convicted and fined $25 and his parents sent that and another $25 for him to return home to Munich, North Dakota. However, the money they sent was stolen by the Leon County prison system so that Sheriff-villain James Robert Jones could earn more income by leasing Martin out to the Putnam Lumber Company.

In January 1922, Tabert was whipped to death by murder Thomas Walter Higginbotham.

Little has changed in policing and “justice” in the USA since then.
