A dude recently got kneeled to death by cops (not president authorized death squads or court authorized death squads, mind you, normal cops) for allegedly a fake $20 bill. I think there is plenty to worry about.


Why, are you passing around counterfeit currency or doing anything else to attract police attention?

And I’m not justifying the police’s behavior, mind you. Total miscarriage of justice and abuse of power.


This is close to the “nothing to hide” argument, but even then it doesn’t work. People with nothing to hide, doing nothing wrong, are scared of being targeted. That is a completely unacceptable situation. That is definitively illegitimate governance that asks for violent retribution.
