The police in the US have become too powerful, too uncontrollable. There seems to be no accountability. If the department and union wants to, they can defend and cover up any crime committed by their folks. It's very odd that majority of the people think this is ok. This is just another case where the department knowingly did the illegal thing, but the courts are protecting them too. Overall it's quite appalling.

- stainablesteel 4y agothere's a lot wrong in the the fundamentals the us had been founded on recently your data constantly being collected and sold is a violation of unwarranted searches actors like twitter/cloudfare/etc playing morality police about what opinions you're allowed to express on what should be considered a public common needing to write diversity statements for scientific grant funding is a violation of the separation of church and state and the police having no need answer as accountable to the courts shows a serious lack of checks and balances but i think the errors are becoming more obvious to the ever-growing internet-raised generations as they get older and there's going to not only a majority of people realizing this, but there will also be rockstar solutions to all of these things within the next 10-20 years, society will snap back to where it should be as long as people speak openly about these things. i don't believe a dystopian future is the final destination
