    “You don’t have anything to fear from the police if you’re not doing anything wrong” Really? REALLY? They are literal terrorists. I give you, exhibit….what do we do when we run out of letters anyway?

      Also: deputy gangs are a thing. Literal gangs within the police force.

        Yep, great example of a department with an extensive history of this is the LAPD Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which was the subject of this fifteen part long form investigation that was also made into a podcast

        And that’s just one example and one we know about

        e2; County Sheriff’s Department, not city police like I’d initially misremembered

          Not that there aren’t gangs in the LAPD this investigation is specifically about the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.
