Why didn't they use the seatbelts? You can see them in the vid. I can understand the guy, he's handcuffed. But the cops should have strapped him in.

They don’t care.

I was too tall to sit in the back of a policecar, so they just threw me in sideways with my hands behind my back.

All for a bag of marijuana stems, weighing .02 grams.

Nothing, was just leftover after smoking and forgot it was in my truck.

because this is the intent! they hurt people like this on purpose. to show you they have all the power, and they can come kill you if they feel like it. they can destroy your life on a whim, and you're powerless.

it's a demonstration of violence and terror, because their purpose is to subjugate the lower classes and their communities. that has always been the purpose of policing.

Police rough rides of blacks to internationally injure them are a fairly frequent occurrence in some cities.

They don't use seatbelts because it's hard to have people ricochet around if they're buckled in.
