The police also use "mental reasons" as an excuse to arrest anyone they don't like or who challenges their egos. It's often used to cover-up uses of excessive force.
- dylan604 2y agoare you saying that their reasons were mental; aka totally bonkers logic, or that they are claiming the person has mental issues? I'll agree with the former, but if the latter, then that's even more infuriating that someone suffering gets physically assaulted because Officer Bumpkin is untrained in deescalation and only trained in ratcheting up to use of violence.
- banish-m4 2y agoIt happened to a late friend of mine in Los Altos who was minding his own business walking in a parking lot while playing the augmented reality game Ingress. The cops beat the shit out of his arms and legs, and then dumped him off in the county's lockdown ward to coverup their misdeeds. They knew they could get away with it and did so.
