Got some weed? Be prepared to be SWATted and thrown in jail for years.

pinky winky promise me not to do that again
Best I can do is "no".
You could also be killed for it, because the cops fucked up again and got the wrong house and went in guns blazing.
Sounds about white
That’s rich
Sounds about orange*. I don't think even your average white person is this well taken care of in the US court system
Our justice system is a fucking sham.
He shouldn’t have been allowed to run until all outstanding criminal litigation was completed, and any punishment served/paid.
Disagree, because it would be abused.
An accusation would all that was needed to take out political opponents.
That's the shitty part. When it was "adults" it wouldn't have been an issue, but since children where allowed to run the government it would now be weaponised, as you pointed out.
That attitude was a big part of why Clinton lost in the first place.
I wish he would try selling loose cigarettes on a NYC street. I hear you don’t even get a trial for that, just straight to sentencing.
That's a common misconception. Eric didn't have any cigarettes on his person. Meaning the fake crime he was executed for wasn't just minor. It was non existent.
He had been cited in the past for selling loosies. But there's no info on whether they used an undercover or ci to offer to buy a cigarette. Using honeypot traps on pedestrians should be illegal.
Pantaleo's partner, Justin D'Amico, admitted that he exaggerated Garner's charges. D'Amico claimed Garner had been selling 10,000 untaxed cigarettes, which was a felony. However, Garner had fewer than 100 cigarettes in his possession at the time of his death.
No, he did have cigarettes on him. However, it was not enough to matter, and they killed him anyway because they don't actually care about the law.
"Nobody is above the law."
Lol
I wonder what the fuck is in the water over there, since half the population is crazy!
Lead, lots of lead.
Honestly? We are just stupid and believe America is the best country in every way, despite all the evidence to the contrary. That, coupled with a Fuck You attitude and racism leads us directly to JD Vance.
Cuts to education and removing critical thinking and prep resources from the upbringing of more and more civilians over decades will do that, yep.
Yet crybaby Trump it's still whining and complaining.
Can people start protesting about two tier justice correctly now please?
Yeah, but imagine if he had a bag of weed on him too.
Oh wait, he's still rich and white, it wouldn't have mattered!
We didn’t have enough cops no-knock raid his home.
Still trying to imitate a real human smile. Still just as bad it.
He just can't get the hang of it.
No, you see he was sentenced to unconditional discharge. TOTALLY different.
