    How can you justify releasing a damn dog on someone who ain’t doing shit? These kids are more often than not from questionable origin, like a racist system or family, psychopaths, not meant to be the high water mark of justice, and the people they should actually be fucking with, either slip through the nets, or are running the show. Capitalist bootlickers is all it comes down to. I couldn’t imagine wanting to be a cop.

    When I get pulled over now, I’m always like “damn its a kid”, knowing there are zero consequences for their actions, a push from on high to make arrests in any way possible, depending on who needs to get paid that day, doesn’t make me feel any better.

    I got pulled over last week…for having a dealership border around the license plate. Thats it. LOL. All pretense to see if he liked my face and clothes. I don’t think police should be interacting with citizens in this manner, let alone releasing fkn dogs on unarmed people.

      Apparently, from another article, it’s policy

      For context, this city is well outside Columbus and what you’d consider ruralish trashyish

      Basically once you get an hour outside the big cities in Ohio it’s not much different from the south

        Well it’s depressing that that’s the explanation.

        I will never understand why the US government is happy for large sections of its country to essentially operate as if it’s the 18th century. It is like someone went back in time and gave them all tractors, and coke (both types) but otherwise they’re just carrying on as per.

          Because it’s like stacking the jury with your friends.

          The only people who can really change it are in the same cult party as the ones doing the bad things. It’s not going to go anywhere
