    Saw this on the Civil Rights Lawyer (iirc his name) YouTube channel Tuesday. Gross cops laughing at his impairment.

    Edit: glad that his story is receiving widespread attention, at least

      The description in the article sounds horrifying enough. Cops get called because a white guy is causing a disturbance, cops arrive, white guy (possibly the actual suspect?) points to the nearest black guy and they just go after him.

        I am not 100%, but I think the white dude who pointed him out was the alleged suspect. The bodycam shows the coos going into the Circle K and the employee describes the problem and points to the gut, and answers in the affirmative when asked if they want the guy trespassed.

        So, naturally, they told him to wait while they assaulted his victim.

      i think you might be misusing that acronym. iirc means “if i recall correctly”. it seems like you meant something like “i can’t recall”. is that right?

        “IIR his name C” didn’t have the same ring to it, and I am dumb in my morning hours.
