Hate to tell you it has always been this way. If you are a person of color, you knew in US there is a two tier Justice system and there is a reason why your parents would tell you to never talk to the police. It is good that only after all these years its now dawning on to others especially people from the right (who would have thought right ).
But the bigger point is - selective prosecution, pushing the whole weight of mighty US Justice System to individuals just to overwhelm them knowing fully well this is not typically necessary, special treatment for individuals with axis of connections and credentials - these have been the typical hallmarks of US Justice System.
Sooner we rid of this whole “American exceptionalism” concept the better we are to face the reality which is US is no different than other empires that existed on the face of the planet where nation states and those who really rule it override the so called “we the people”. Yes you plebes have rights and what not and get to have some nice things like social services but you piss off the wrong people and do that enough - you will be behind the bar in no time. Protecting civil rights, protecting rule of law etc are just vessel slogans for this nation state to wave its might and protect its most powerful.
