Deleted my 1st post because honestly it was giving this statement more credit than it deserved

The standard that police officers are typically held to is ... None. No standard. Rarely charged, even more rarely convicted. Often eventually reinstated. Moreover, this clip doesn't even mention charging

I saw someone on Instagram refer to Holiday by Green Day as a "historical" protest song and I aged approximately 400 years
