Reply to comment by [deleted] in NYPD is Illegally Sending People to Rikers Without Ever Seeing a Judge, Lawsuit Claims by psychothumbs

The NYPD did the same things during the Occupy Wall Street protests of 2011. A guy I know said he was just out walking and the cops appeared out of nowhere and blocked access with that orange construction netting. They hauled everyone away to one of the docks on the west side and kept them there for days before any of them saw a judge.

And yet people don't think we live in a police state.

Please tell everyone these stories, they are important.

Just saying more to friends and such.

Everyone is programmed from birth with so much overwhelming pro-police propaganda it can be hard to realize how awful they really are.

I think we all want there to be a reliable and fair Justice system, it’s more of a delusion or blind optimism situation.
