Russia Today America reports:
A 14-year-old middle school student is facing felony computer hacking charges after he admitted to accessing a teacher's computer during class without permission. If that wasn't bad enough, he then displayed an image of two men kissing.
Domanik Green, an eighth grader at Paul R. Smith Middle School in Holiday, Florida, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with an offense against a computer system and unauthorized access: a third-degree felony under Florida state law.
[...] The school had distributed a single password for all teachers to use, approximately two years ago. One educator had shared it with a student, who soon let his classmates in on the secret.
The Tampa Bay Times notes:
Green, interviewed at home, said students would often log into the administrative account to screen-share with their friends. They'd use the school computers' cameras to see each other, he said.
Green had previously received a three-day suspension for accessing the system inappropriately. Other students also got in trouble at the time, he said. It was a well-known trick, Green said, because the password was easy to remember: a teacher's last name. He said he discovered it by watching the teacher type it in.

I was going to post something similar, but I'll simply add to your body of evidence:
Act: Choke a man to death on camera [wikipedia.org].
Consequences: None.
Act: Shoot unarmed teenager dead in the street [wikipedia.org].
Consequences: None.
Act: Torture people to death [wikipedia.org].
Consequences: "Mistakes were made," and "We need to look forward, not dwell on the past." In other words, none.
Act: Run massive spying systems through the DEA [gizmodo.com] and the NSA [eff.org] violating the Constitutional rights of every American trillions of times [democracynow.org].
Consequences: "Oh, that program was discontinued," and "We need *more* spying," respectively. In other words, none.
Act: Using police departments and court systems as extortion schemes [washingtonpost.com] that oppress minorities.
Consequences: None, none at all.
Act: Commit financial fraud [wikipedia.org] to the tune of trillions of dollars and destroy the world economy.
Consequences: "Hey, let's give those guys a raise and a bunch of tax breaks and totally dismantle the already mickey mouse regulations they have to deal with!" In other words, what the fuck?
There are so many other sickening, gross violations of the law and crimes against humanity that I could spend the next 6 months adding to this list and not even get to the bottom of it all. But I think those I have listed ought to suffice to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that we are in a post-Rule of Law Age.
How many grievances did the Founding Fathers list for declaring independence from Britain, like 6?

You had me up until Michael Brown.
Anybody who looks at the facts, like the grand jury and DOJ did, knows that he was a thug and a criminal and was actively assaulting the police officer.
So fuck you.

So you conventelly overlooked the un-editeed video, you know, the one that showed him paying for the stuff instead of the one released by the police claiming he stole it. Hmm....should we allways trust the police 100%?

Not at all, but your crimes against spelling should be a punishable felony...

Even if that were true (it isn't), that does not justify death.

Being black isn't really a crime, despite bigots like you constantly claiming it is and racist pigs constantly acting like it is.

Once again, we need a quote from the great American sage Mark Twain to put this into context:
I know where the lightning ought to strike, but I need to be careful. God has a strange sense of humor... and lousy aim!
It's really quite a simple choice: Life, Death, or Los Angeles.
