Just a point of clarification: the probationary period of federal employees is much longer than 90 days. For most, it's one year. Some roles are two years.

Dr. King’s policy was, if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That’s very good. He only made one fallacious assumption. In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.
- Stokely Carmichael
Just to piggyback off of this: trial-by-jury in the US is nearly nonexistent now. Less than 10% of arrests lead to a jury trial. Most go to a plea bargain.
The state no longer has to convince 12 of your peers that you're guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. They just need to convince you that you'll suffer more if you maintain innocence than if you accept guilt.
