Read the article and you'll see it's more about the legal aspects of a situation where 177 people were indiscriminately sent to jail on rubber stamped charges. Imagine being in an IRC channel with a 200 people and 10 of them got into a fight, presumably hacked each other, and than everyone in the channel is arrested on felony charges, and sent to jail with $100,000 bonds. Allegedly there may have been provocation and excessive weapons use by the police posing as members of rival groups.

No I saw that. But this is Texas we're talking about. Texas is one of the most corrupt states when it comes to criminal justice. There have been articles written about how people end up stuck in the system for years based on only one charge of vagrancy. Lubbock is one of the worst places to get arrested in the US, for example.
