    Some guy beat someone so bad they need 24hr supervision, and he got 7 years. Cops get of with paid vacation for shooting or running over: dogs, unarmed adults and children, flash bang babies, drunk driving, beating their SO, planting drugs on innocent people. Did I miss anything?

    War on drugs, no, it’s a war on personal freedoms.

      There are actual recordings from the Nixon Whitehouse where they decided that since they could no longer legally discriminate against people based on race, they’d have to find another way and drugs was it.

      It’s not even just a war on personal freedoms. It’s a war on anyone the people running the system don’t like. The US has been at war with its own citizens longer than I’ve been alive.

        Well since before it was a country. Remember tar and feathering as a form of political discourse?

      The weird outlier is a recent charge of a guy who assaulted 6 cops and got 5 years. A glitch in the system.
