She was put into jail for committing an unwritten infraction called "Pissing Off the Police"
Most officers feel entitled to a considerable amount of respect and many of them are prone to use their discretion in order to extract revenge for perceived personal insults. This has always been the case. Recently we have technology that increasingly exposes this and other sorts of wrongdoing.
- adventured 11y agoI always find it interesting that most people don't realize police brutality, and people being killed by police, was worse 40 years ago than today. The difference is, today there's a bright spotlight on police brutality, and 200 million smart phones.
- mikeash 11y agoDon't they? I always thought that the current outrage was more along the lines of, "Look guys, we're supposed to be past this 'killing black people for being black' thing, and anyway we can all see you doing this stuff now, so why are you still doing it? Seriously, stop it already!" I certainly could be wrong, that's just my vague impression.
