I don't know what happened. When I was young, police were very different. I remember walking to school, with my cousin, smoking some pot. A cop pulled up beside us and just said "put that out girls". So we did.
If this was today, we would have been handcuffed and probably sent to juvenile detention.
It is getting worse and worse. I think that, in general, the populous gives police a license to kill by either refusing to indict or refusing to convict.
If any one of us "regular citizens" did this stuff, we would be in jail..... nobody would say we shot a person in self defense when it wasn't actually self defense.
