    They fucked me over in Minnesota over less than a gram that was in my trunk, and a pipe, also in the trunk, all in a paper bag, completely inaccessible from the inside of the car, tried to charge me with driving under the influence, using their nose as the only proof that I must’ve obviously been smoking a blunt while driving.

    That was just after the Floyd protests.

      The Floyd protests brought out the worst in police. You might have thought they’d have fallen back on “oh but we’re not all like that”, but instead they seem to have gone with “look how much worse we could be.”

      Actual headline: Protests about police brutality are met with wave of police brutality across US

      And a surprisingly blunt 5 minute CNN video from early in the protests.

    As ubiquitous as cameras are now, that’s not going to last very long.

      Poverty rate is high in Minnesota, and legal rights cost money.

        Exactly very few will have the money to fight this.

    sounds like the cops are letting their personal cravings get in the way.
