Yes, that's been the pattern for a while now. At the risk of being boring, that's not what happened here, and why I made the comment in the first place. The cops knew they were being filmed, and they just didn't care. Read that again, because apparently it's not getting through. They just didn't care. They piled on, and arrested, a white man who wasn't actually resisting, in full view of somebody's phone, being filmed from just a few feet away, and they just didn't care. This is what stood out for me. Is this how it's going to be now? Is this going to be the new normal? That now all us "not of the Party" people are "non-white" and thus fair game? Because that seems like something we should be noticing. Seems like we're past the "first they came for the ..." stage, and well into the "and then they came for me.." stage of this phase of the change of ideologies. Maybe this is a momentary aberration, but it sure fits very neatly into the pattern we've been seeing developing
