Assuming it's true.

Apparently Fox News has been manipulating photos a wee bit and playing a little fast and loose with the facts.

This is f**king insane. It's a carte blanche for US police to act like the mafia.

You're akin to a 'born again', just discovered police corruption exists and ranting about this and that 'new' discovery every 5 minutes.
Civil forfeiture has been happening for decades, has been widely contraversial and well documented. Countless stories of the police in some hillbilly state, stop a citizen on the road, find a roach and end up confiscating all his property.

What a bizarre comment.

You agree that it's a massive issue, yet you have a problem with me raising it?

Why didn't you just say "I hate you" instead of trying to obfuscate?

With all the cancel culture it's amazing how the the Democrats are not canceled for their party's history
Voted against emancipation of the slaves , voted against allowing blacks to be citizens and voted against allowing freed slaves to vote  all 100% against.
Even Nancy's father oversaw the dedication of stonewall Jackson and Robert e lee statues in Baltimore when he was mayor  and now she calls for removing statues but won't comment on her father . They birthed the kkk and had a former klansman as it's senate leader a few decades ago . Interned people of Japanese and German ethnicity.

Nixon, southern strategy, LBJ lamenting the loss of the south to the Republicans, confederate flags at political rallies, opposition to affirmative action, welfare queens in Harlem, Willie Horton, Bob Jones University, RNC chairmen acknowledging the failings of the GOP on race.... need I go on?

And I haven't even mentioned Trump.

How are they not canceled though ? just look at what they were on the wrong side of history for .
Are you justifying them ?

No.

They've a shameful history.

Which they repudiated more than 50 years ago.

Its a shame for everyone that the GOP eagerly swept up what the Dems abandoned.

Good luck with that, given that 90+% of blacks and a large majority of Hispanics vote Democratic, while thr GOP president and its base don't even see illegal immigrants as worthy of human dignity.

Why do they though ,if most black people live in cities and the cities are run by dems and have been for generations and their lives are shit and they are being killed by cops who are also voting for Democrats through their unions , would you keep voting that way .

Actually, much to my surprise most cops vote for Republicans even in the big cities

The Democrats have formed these huge bureaucracies in every city. Everyone who's connected can get a job.....many of them are do nothing jobs with great benefits and good pensions.   Well connected African Americans who can turn out the vote get their share of these plum jobs

That would not be the case in California
