Among all the problems with this kind of folk justice is it tends to "criminalize" things like "breathing while black" or "looks gay".

- jessaustin 10y agoWhat you're talking about is (and especially, has been) a real problem, but that's because of institutionalized racism and prejudice, not because LEOs look the other way when an asshole deservedly gets his nose busted. Not least because many of the jurisdictions that have institutionalized racism of this sort would be quick to jump in if a "stereotypical" white-dude asshole was on the receiving end. However, perhaps something about this works better when all parties are in the same "community", in a sense. The situation under discussion seems to fit that mold.
