Anyways. Karen Read had to pull out all the stops of the privilege available to her in order to beat the charges set forth by a corrupt system. And it still took two trials.
So imagine all those without those resources and social capital to defend themselves.

We don't talk enough about the total financial ruin defendants face when the state brings an absurd case like this. They prosecuted Karen Read for years while law enforcement engaged in blatant misconduct—and she lost both her jobs, her home, and her life savings. It's bullshit.

The Karen Read trial was incredible because usually that degree of law enforcement sloppiness is reserved for an inner city. They really thought they could get a real conviction there.

they want to blame Black people so badly. there's been a consistent push to malign one of the most loyal voting bases for Democrats and if it continues to succeed, Dems will actually see electoral wipeouts for years to come.
The mainstream/centrist punditocracy seems to exist in an alternate universe around discussing protests where 1) BLM happened while Joe Biden was President and 2) it resulted in an electoral wipeout for Dems

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today.
I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children.
Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us.
One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.
