see its confusing because the only place i see anyone at all mentioning this is in a post cooked up on a 9th tier right wing extremist site.
Druff must be mainlining that shit. He’s so out of touch with the reality of how the police in America for decades routinely preyed on poor folk of color to make their unofficial quotas, and it didn’t matter what race those cops were.

And even if Michael Brown deserved to get shot, his death and the subsequent attention on the Ferguson police to use aggressive ticketing of the urban poor as a way to substantially fund their budgets was an eye opening on how local municipalities can financially prey on people within their communities who have no usual recourse for auch abuses. And you’d think that “Small towns use speed traps to help fund their budgets”-Druff would relate to such abusive and predatory policing activity.
