As Trump mobilizes the marines to quell an “insurrection” in LA, it’s essential to be clear about how the protests started and what actually happened.

    I’m about to witness some of the worst policing known to man.

    Police and sheriff departments all across Florida would like a moment of your time.

      Like with Florida Man a lot of that is simply due to Florida’s more lax reporting standards. It’s less that Florida law enforcement are exceptionally worse and more that they’re the sample that is most transparently on display.

      Which is worrisome.

        The idiot governor of Florida just ok’d running people over with a car using the excuse “they were a protester”.

        So, yeah. It’s not just the reporting, Florida is a fuck show.
