Didn't know where else to post this, but it's pretty emblematic of how deeply corrupt our society is. Let me know if you think there's a better community to post this in.

Back to the subject, the Streisand Effect is in force (taken down video reuploaded). This is me doing my small part in that.

It'a already happening in the US too. Courts have absolved our police from actually having to do what they were hired to do. So now they wait outside of mass killings, shoot to kill innocent people, rob citizens with no consequences. Why would they bother doing their job anymore, they have guns and most people think those things just happen to "other" people.

To be fair, police have largely been doing all of this all along with similarly paltry repercussions. The digital age just allowed citizens to collect evidence of what so many previously suspected or knew. The same bad police behavior continues, they're just forced to be a bit more honest about it now.
