Reply to comment by locks_are_paranoid in TIL: That in 2019, some criminals were caught and 36 BTC was confiscated. The authorities valued the worth at €127,000 at the time and was sold 2 years later for €1.5 million. The criminals were returned €1.3 million due to the fact that the amount was expressed in Swedish Krona, not BTC by Wendals87

pretty sure then they just look for a way to fund themselves.

not to mention that makes no attempts to solve the actual root problems, just blaming the people meant to be helping(meant to doesn't even imply its what they do)

The actual answer is to have strict regulations on what police can do, but there's almost zero chance of that ever passing

it also tends to backfire.

But not to mention in no way at all addresses any actual issues. Blaming the police for homelessness, violence, etc.

Given that cops have literally shot homeless people and are the main perpetraters of violence, it's 100% logical to blame cops for homelessness and violence

Not at all iff you considered history, statistics, or logic. But sure, blame the economy on police so that you can empower the same politicians that actually caused the issues. Seems to be the "'Merican Way" of thinking.
