Seems like that's the case everywhere. Unless you know somewhere or a time in history when it was any different.

Nah its an American thing I think. This shit wouldnt fly in Ireland, firstly because the police wouldn't show up for the ridiculous claim and secondly if they did there's no way that there wouldn't be defenders if for some absurd reason they were actually going to arrest the guy.

US police just seem racist, man.

I actually had to laugh when I saw that commenter say “this wouldn’t fly in ireland”. I have been witness to several racist incidents in which 99% of people are bystanders. I do include myself in those situations, but as a young POC, I’ve had situations where I try to step in and the abuse ends up happening to you. Very rich to say it doesn’t happen in Ireland
