And how were the police “extra-judicially maintaining the status quo” here?
Cops being pricks to teenagers happens everywhere, from small
towns to urban centers or suburbs.
- Sohcahtoa82 3y ago> Cops being pricks This counts as extra-judicially maintaining the status quo.
- bequanna 3y agoUh huh. And how is that behavior exclusive to a small town? This same exact thing could have happened in a town of any size. Cops harass teenagers everywhere. This has no relation to the themes of that song which discusses how antisocial, illegal behavior like rioting, theft, assault, etc which is permitted in urban centers will not be tolerated in smaller communities.
- csomar 3y agoIn a big town, there is a higher chain of command. The higher up won't be too happy with this incident and will fire the cops. In a very small town, the cops are the chain of command and as a result will fight it.
- bequanna 3y agoGuess again. Cops in large towns are even more protected by very powerful unions in addition to qualified immunity.
