    Awesome and sad at the same time. Also, the system used to be even worse.

    Yeah. I feel awful that people had potential scholarships revoked and kicked out of their home because they were framed by corrupt cops.

    It makes sense why people would not trust law enforcement and be willing to disobey orders even when they are innocent. This was hundreds of people just in Chicago.

    But it is super cool that there are people willing to dedicate the time, effort, and resources, to help the situation.

    I'm also pleased and surprised that Buzzfeed publicized the situation.

    One of the people wrongfully convicted and exonerated recently passed. But he was one of the people in the project that at 14 decided to go around with a tape recorder and record interviews with people. It is called Ghetto Life 101. It's a good listen.
