    This is just cops being cops. They decide who’s guilty and innocent immediately and then treat people that way.

    This is exactly why you should support minorities being treated fairly. While they’re the ones who get this treatment 95 times out of 100, the point is that skin color isn’t gonna save you. When cops decide they don’t like you, you’re fucked.

    The murderers here did a good job of presenting the guy as the scumbag, and honestly it doesn’t take much of a nudge to get the cops to judge someone.

    It gets worse. His brother lied. His father tried to cover up the victim’s injuries by propping him up. His mother hid the knife.

    A-C-A… What’s the point anymore? Also:

    It has also prompted the Conservatives and Reform UK to say the UK should not have “two-tier policing,” with people treated differently because of the colour of their skin

    The fucking cheek, there’s real evidence for this being the case and I’m pretty sure reform/conservatives will like what that evidence says. Anyways I’ll just leave this here

      Also pretty fucking bold of the Tories to make such claims when they’re the fucking reason policing is in the current state…

    I thought we were supposed to punch Nazis in the face. Here, it looked like a Nazi was punished for his racist opinions.

    It turns out he wasn’t a Nazi. Some people of color had falsely accused him and covered up the severity of the attack on him. But in the Lemmyverse, we can tell who’s who, so the Nazis don’t need a trial.

        A world in which it’s ok to punch Nazis in the face because no one ever makes a mistake.

        I think maybe I get it, and there could be a reasonable thought buried deep in the short spurt of nonsense.

        But dude’s gotta learn to speak if that’s the case.
