"Liberties cannot be taken away; only stopped and checked by interested parties," someone has said. Nevertheless, liberty – especially political liberty – must often be fought for and defended if it is to be preserved. If we as a society left the issues of civil liberties and civil rights only to the votes of juries or the vehemence of judges, we would not be able to eliminate political repression.
The police misconduct and brutality lawyers of the Bell Legal group represents clients whose civil liberties and civil rights have been violated through politically repressive means. Though many don't realize it, political repression occurs in many areas of cultural and private life, including housing, employment, domestic relations, immigration law and the prison sector.
Unfortunately, political repression has been a recurring theme in our nation's relatively short history. Anytime that men and women have been willing to speak the truth about injustice, the cold, calculating machinery of state power has risen up to oppose them. For example, the late Dr. Martin Luther King's mission of peace, equality and justice for all was murdered, in no small part, by intrusive government betrayal of organizations such as the CIA and FBI.
While law enforcement agencies such as the FBI seem less flagrantly violent now than in the 1960s and 70s, there are still occasions when America's police force remains a threat to average, everyday citizens. Repression affects everyone from students to teachers, union members to corporations. It affects social groups such as gays and lesbians, ethnic minorities and the disabled. Political repression makes it harder for these groups to engage in nonviolent action and secure their rights. Such repression reduces their participation and even encourages some to believe that violence is their only option.
As police misconduct lawyers, Bell Legal Group attorneys know that there must be solemn respect for our constitutional liberties by law enforcement and government agencies. Political repression threatens our fundamental freedoms. By clamping down on repressive law enforcement practices, the Bell Legal Group strives to do its part to reduce political repression.
