      When I went to visit family in The Old Country, I felt and was treated like an outsider. A foreigner under constant judgment and observation.

      I can't imagine feeling like that in what is supposed to be your own goddamn country.

    In a statement Friday, the Wyoming Department of Public Safety said it had conducted an internal review and concluded "race played no role in our officers' treatment of the individuals, and our officers responded appropriately."

    Thank god, I was concerned there for a second.

    the neighbor who called it in claimed the non-violent occupier of the home, who was arrested a week prior for trespass, was back and in the same vehicle. the owner/seller if the home supposedly told this guy to watch the house.

    everything about this story is bullshit, from the cops executing Operation Overlord over the tip, to the asshole calling in the tip.

    imagine being the fucking realtor, trying to sell this guy's house for him and having this happen. I have little hope for the pigs to reform over this, but hopefully the realtor tries to blacklist this asshole's property or something.

      Realtors are, for better or worse, a close knit bunch. I imagine this guy is going to find out the home selling equivalent of being a renter who defaulted.

    I don’t now exactly where this happened but Wyoming is a kind of a vacation spot because it has a few lakes and isn’t that far from Lake Michigan and a big part of going “up north” in Michigan is getting away from “the city” (the people in the city) I go up north with my family during the summer for the occasional weekend and you can probably count the bomber of poc you see on one hand.
