I have to constantly remind the white supremacists in my country (South Africa) that the only reason the US isn’t ranked higher than South Africa in those silly “corruption indexes” rich people’s media loves so much is because the stuff that gets called corruption over here is perfectly legal in the US.
In South Africa, pigs stealing your stuff is thoroughly illegal - not that this stops SA pigs, of course - while it’s been perfectly legalized in the US.
And it can’t be corrupt if it’s perfectly legal, right?
Yeah it’s pretty disheartening when SCOTUS makes a bat shit ruling and we are all supposed to just abide by it. If they have a heinous ruling they should be thrown out over it.
No worries people. The Supreme Court is just formalizing the notion that they aren’t subject to consequences. This will surely improve the public perception of cops.
Yes, but you see, the legislators need the police to protect them from the unwashed masses. But the legislators don’t want to have to pay the police themselves, so how do they compensate the police for the extra protection? By leaving asset forfeiture in place; Legislators don’t have to do anything, and get benefit from it. Police only have to claim your property is guilty of being involved in a crime, and boom, it’s theirs now.
