    Consider this situation:

    She pulls over to check on the disabled motorist see what she can get out of the interaction. She runs his info and sees that he is a felon. This gets her going, as her racism had already decided that her subject victim is guilty of possessing things he legally cannot posses: a gun and drugs. He was minding his own business. She targeted him and successfully used the law crooked set of rules that are meant to further dehumanize people that they deem to be beneath them.

    “Habitual” issues do nothing to provide context as to why she tased him when he was clearly complying with her disgusting abuse of power that we pay for.

    It’s all rotten. Nothing short of radical sorts of change will stop these sorts of interactions and the events that lead up to them, which starts in childhood for the victims of the state.

    Should the law, or anyone for that matter, think of you as guilty of something because of their negative bias about people who look or act like you?
