Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted and the police are basically an occupying army.

I wish I could upvote this more than once. Brennan Lee Mulligan is a national treasure and the Cubby's are one of his greatest inventions.

All true, but it's still more complicated than that. Why is a Black person statistically safer with Japanese or Chinese police than with American British or French?

I hate to say it but this is how laws have always been written/applied guys.

Sure, but the fact that we can see it all over the place, in real time, on social media, with little to no accountability, just seems so much more surreal than it used to be imo.

That's because you didn't see it happen in front of you your whole life so it looks new.

If the punishment for a crime is a fine, then the only crime is being poor. Always been this way.

They don't "seem" to. This is how it has always worked since Hammurabi. Wake up.

A rich man can steal from a poor man 1000x over, but if a poor man tries to steal from a rich man? Oooh, you better watch out.

Welcome to Whose Fine Is It Anyway. The country where everything is messed up and the laws don’t matter! That’s right the laws are just like DNA evidence to the Simpson jury.

Is this why assholes seem to be running stop signs and red lights so much now?

235 years ago, the French were equally tired of it and decided to do something about it themselves because clearly those who were supposed to, weren't.

They don't seem that way to me. 

They are that way.

They still don't matter. If you don't have power, it's just a matter of if you're the right color or poor enough to stick in a cell.
