the only reason this is a story is the guy had security video with audio of the cops doing their standard piece of shit routine. swear to god, anybody who doesn't know the "immediately threaten every victim" routine in the US has simply never tried to file a police report in the US. it's their number one move to get out of doing anything in any situation, because the only smart move for the victim is to stop talking and walk away. and if you don't, they get more and more aggressive to scare you off until they get close to being off duty, then they arrest you and get overtime for slow walking you through processing.
literally showing up after midnight several hours after he calls it in. would love to see the GPS log of where their cruiser was posted up for naptime and what restaurant they shook down for a free dinner, because you know that always takes precedence.
when this bullshit system is overthrown, the most important information for your local community to collect and analyze is the personnel files of your local police. these are your predators, scumbags, and bullies. they have no right to arms, power or anonymity in the better world we build. they must answer for their crimes.
