So, what's the REAL story?

That’s why I defend the 2nd Amendment and why I believe in smaller government.

Those cops were all black and they still beat up that kid, so racism obviously wasn’t the issue here. They were just a**holes, like you said. And the cops who arrested people for not covering their faces and shut down small businesses for following all the mandates were a**holes too. I got a serious reality check during 2020, and so did a lot of people. Cops are not that dependable nor are they completely trustworthy.

I thought the latter DID happen, but only over seas in places like Australia, IIRc..

This sort of made me wonder how all of the social saboteurs and mis-framers, etc are going to fare when basically everyone is walking around with Google Glass otherwise discreetly recording every. Single. Thing.

Having the whole story instead of just edited bits and pieces of any such given situation plastered all over is sure to make a lot of idiots hold their tongue. One hopes.
