Isn’t false imprisonment or abduction a crime? The police use this as a disruption tactic, they don’t care about the likelihood of actual charges.
I agree that such arrests are just a fear-inducing (i.e. “state terror”) tactic. It sounds like the final decision to pursue/not-pursue charges was up to a judge, at least in this case. It would be interesting to know if the cops knew or cared about what (and what quality) evidence they had or didn’t have.
Police arrested 57 people for criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor akin to loitering. Travis County Attorney Delia Garza’s office said Friday all those charges have been dismissed after a county judge found insufficient evidence to proceed.
You sound like you don’t know about the history of politics in the US. Trump’s cover-up of the payoff was illegal because it’s happened before. That’s why there’s campaign finance laws. Elections were undoubtedly more corrupt in the past.
