Can someone explain what happened to me with this situation? Seemed like I missed some huge news or a big scandal last week, I saw a Man Carrying Thing video reference but don’t know exactly what happened except some company stole someone’s Legos through legal loopholes or something? But apparently it’s way more than that.

    Nah, the police behavior on film was just so arrogantly corrupt and egregious that even that bootlicking cockroach Asmongold is pretending to be outraged

    The victims are white and male so the chuds don’t have an angle from those directions, and the sheer volume of footage showing the cops engaging in one act of blatant corruption after another is too overwhelming for even right-wing media to absorb and dissipate though obtuse gaslighting

    I fucking love this case; it’s becoming a cultural touchstone for ACAB sentiment

      ACAP? Is that like ACAB?

      Also, I’ve been doing more research since posting this and I’m starting to love it, too. Just watched a couple penguonz0 videos and now watching a Legal Eagle one. It’s got everything: evil corporations, terrible small business owners (the new franchise owners), corrupt cops, Christian cults in the form of Mormons, so much.

        Whoops typo

        And I second your assessment; when I first came across it, I was initially bored because I assumed the petit-bourgeois fucks would get away with it and the scandal would fizzle out, but then the cops showed up and it just kept spiraling and snowballing out of control, while the Youtuber played the ‘innocent white boy’ card to perfection

          He definitely should have made better decisions legally about how to approach this, but I have to admit that the fact he didn’t not only gave us great content but may have revealed a seriously corrupt police force and send to be radicalizing a section of the internet into an ACAB mindset.

        The cop dislocating the Youtuber’s arm was probably the most egregious, but the funniest was definitely the Mormon kid they recruited who asked one of the cops for a selfie
