because unlike us, they're willing to kill.

Who's more likely to kill someone:

Me with a joint? Or a cop with a gun?

> And, I’m definitely not talking about legal recourse in my previous comment.

After being shown firsthand how broken the legal system is, I'm honestly shocked there aren't more cases of vigilante justice.

I mean, why would you seek recourse from within the very system that screwed you over in the first place?? That's like catching your spouse in bed with someone else and then asking your spouse for relationship advice!!!!

The very fact that you need to seek recourse proves that you can't trust the system...because if you could, you'd have no need for recourse to begin with!!!

Hey, Germany prosecutes bedridden 97-year-olds for their involvement in the Holocaust, so why can't we go after a cop that framed someone 25 years ago?

And human nature being what it is, if this cop had ANY brains, he'd be terrified that the victim or their friends/family might "pay him a visit" someday. I hope he's spent the past 25 years looking over his shoulder. But it would be equally satisfying to see his face when karma unexpectedly shows up in his golden years to repay him for what he (until now) THOUGHT he got away with...

Literally forcing you into debt.

"We turned a $100 fine into a $1200 burden. Enjoy your apple juice, fuckface. You may as well drink it, because you're getting a bill either way."

There's always the chance the prosecutor drops the charges (usually the day before the trial they've spent weeks/months pursuing and claiming to be ready for) because they have no evidence and hoped you'd just take a plea...

Not just cops, judges too!

Some guy took pictures of an elderly couple's hibiscus plants and showed it to the police. And somehow, the police failed to recognize it wasn't cannabis, despite supposedly being trained to recognize cannabis.

So they went to a judge to get a warrant. And somehow, the judge saw photographs of a hibiscus plant and decided to grant a warrant for cannabis (WTF???).

So they raided the house and it somehow took the cops 4.5 hours to figure out that the plants they were staring at wasn't pot. And somehow, the cops seized the plants anyway, despite filing no charges.

What kind of clown show are they running in that city where NOBODY in that entire chain-of-command could tell the difference between pot and flowers?????

>"I'm starting to understand why a lot of the public do not trust police officers. And I'm starting to see a lot on TV that I had always thought 'no, you had to be wrong because the police wouldn't make such a bad mistake'...yeah they would."

Right? Why are these hypocrites seemingly immune to the very accountability they dish out to others????

Oh please, you must have done SOMETHING to deserve getting arrested. Cops don't just go around tossing random people in jail for no reason!

/s

And yet people still think they're somehow immune from this. I've seen hundreds of news stories where the victim says something to the effect of "If it didn't happen to me, I wouldn't believe it."

Even just shit as stupid as clerical errors or mistaken identity, which, by their very nature, will only ever affect INNOCENT people!!!

You could be walking down the street minding your own business and if some cop gets a bug up his butt about you, you might not be walking away from that encounter just because he thinks you're someone else.
