I feel like I’m reading this same story once a month. There are so many people that need help and then the police show up and murder them. All the time.
I hope this guy gets a payday for his illegal detainment, arrest and for the officers refusal to identify. Florida taxpayers will have to pay for it since the police have no accountability but at least those tax dollars will go to getting some justice. Fuck these cops. ACAB.
So damn true on all points. And yeah we could do so much if we could organize but trying to get Americans off their ass just once to stand up for something is damn near impossible. I wish I was in France. Those mofo’s start a riot the moment the government does anything even remotely stupid.

Miami TV meteorologist Steve MacLaughlin unleashed a scathing critique of a measure that would remove most references to climate change in Florida law.
Edit: The fact that this joke is believable enough to get you guys bent out of shape really goes to show how fucked up things are with the police in this country. Y’all are like “Get the pitchforks, the police didn’t shoot the baby this time!”. It’s hilarious and depressing at the same time. I’ll be sure to add the /s next time.

Can we get the first names of officers Perkinson and Becerra? They should be publically shamed for murdering someone for being brown.
Also, never ever ever call the fucking police to check on your loved one! How many times do they have to kill someone during a wellfare check for people to wake the fuck up? ACAB
One of the greatest moments in my life was when I was a young adult and realized I could just ignore someone at my door and leave them standing there. I didn’t invite your ass to just show up so fuck right off.
Phone calls too. You better ask via text or something first if you expect me to stop what I’m doing to listen to your bullshit. Voicemail? Oh no, I never completed the setup so you can’t leave a message. So sorry!
