      This is what keeps us in check. If you’re busted by the overly militarized police you will also likely lose the job that you can’t afford to lose, you will go deep into debt, become homeless; which in most states is illegal and you’ll end up in jail.

      When I was a younger person, I attended some protests. Then I saw many get broken up by the police, and many people arrested for trivial reasons. Eventually it became less and less worth it.

      America, it’s law enforcement and most of the population values property over people. The owning class in America own the police, write the laws and vote R.
