    If there’s a fight, they arrest the victim and let the assailant go free. Then charge the victim with “assault with a deadly weapon”.

    Source: Happened to me. I was thinking Motherfucker, I don’t got no weapon, fuck off. Charges were all dropped.

    I used to roll my eyes when Redditors posted anti-police sentiment, I thought they were just being edgy. Turn out they were right.

    Some people don’t understand until they’ve been victimized.

      Glad you recognize the problem.

      I was pretty “cops are kinda okay” to full blown ACAB after this story, where a my neighbor, a man in a wheelchair, was shot 9 times in the back of the head because Ryan Remington has a trigger finger.

      9 times. In the back. 60 yo man in a wheelchair. And Ryan Remington is still Scott free.

      Thanks for sharing this experience.

      People think I’m being dramatic when I say a police officer can choose to ruin your whole life, and the lives of your friends and family, just because they feel like it.

      Nobody should have that kind of power.
