Yep, I spent all of 2020 watching police escalate and beat protesters, all with maga yip yapping about cities “burned to the ground” and insisting that what I saw with my own eyes was not what I saw with my own eyes.

Won’t ever look at cops the same again. I was already beginning to realize they weren’t like I was raised to believe (in the bubble of privilege I grew up in) but 2020 made a lasting, permanent change.

I treat every single interaction with police, no matter how casual, like an event to be exited as soon as possible, and as if it could turn violent at any moment.

Police testimony without bodycame will = hearsay when next I’m called for jury duty.
