You missed Miami Lakes arresting a man over 100 times a year just to meet quota, including for trespassing at his own home and place of work in front of his boss. His boss turned over surveillance footage to the local news to get cops to stop illegally arresting him to meet quota.

And nobody ever got punished for it.

Yikes that led me down a rabbit hole to some major corruption. I don’t see how anybody can begin to “fix” that without a top-down approach

Congratulations! You discovered systemic racism!

Now your considered woke, a believer in CRT (and naturally racist against white people) and a member of BLM/Antifa by Tucker Carlson!

In that Wikipedia article, the Alex Saleh referenced is the same person as the Ali Amin Saleh who was arrested in the posted article. Something is fishy.

Edit: why the downvotes? It looks like the police are racketeering (meaning they’re extorting or coercing) Mr. Ali and fired the only cop who reported it

People talking about 'good cops' should read that link, these are not incidents it's systemic. 'Good cops' end up fired or leave.

He sued the city and a bunch of the cops, one of the cops in the lawsuit felt bad and corroborated his story, and was fired soon after.

PD = Biggest Gang. If you snitch on PD Gang you get fired. Imagine that, cops get fired for doing the right thing. I guess enforcing the law is not the same as doing the right thing as we saw in Ulvade.

They truly are there to enforce law and order, and only do good or save your life if that happens to align with law and order, otherwise your shit out of luck.

This is not that uncommon. I mean the sheer number is, but… Police do it to targets for lots of different reasons. They know you might believe one false arrest but no one believes you on two or three, unless they really know the criminal justice system. There is even a name for it among defense lawyers: “recidivist innocent.”

They targeted him and a few others because they gave up on their rights. Because after 2 or 3 of the bullshit stops and arrests on private property with witnesses that would be a slam dunk for a lawsuit in the minds of most reasonable people. But because this dude for whatever reason didn't exercise his rights and didn't fight the abuse, they used him as a door mat to meet quotas.
