None of this is surprising to me in the least. The scales of justice are way out of balance in this country and this type of shit is bound to happen.
Unfortunately, this is just going to cause the police to dig in even further and this fucked up cycle will continue to get worse.
I am so disappointed in the direction this country is heading. Massive wealth inequality, crushing debt on the majority of the population, horribly unbalanced justice system, completely self-centered and greedy elected officials selling out the people for personal gain, etc.
It is so fucking frustrating.
