If there's a fight, they arrest the victim and let the assailant go free. Then charge the victim with "assault with a deadly weapon".

Source: Happened to me. I was thinking Motherfucker, I don't got no weapon, fuck off. Charges were all dropped.

I used to roll my eyes when Redditors posted anti-police sentiment, I thought they were just being edgy. Turn out they were right.

Some people don't understand until they've been victimized.

Thanks for sharing this experience.

People think I'm being dramatic when I say a police officer can choose to ruin your whole life, and the lives of your friends and family, just because they feel like it.

Nobody should have that kind of power.

Glad you recognize the problem.

I was pretty "cops are kinda okay" to full blown ACAB after this story, where a my neighbor, a man in a wheelchair, was shot 9 times in the back of the head because Ryan Remington has a trigger finger.

9 times. In the back. 60 yo man in a wheelchair. And Ryan Remington is still Scott free.
