re: De-policing the new normal

I have a lot of issues with the police, but my issues are generally academic, as I am a privileged white male with minimal bad experiences with law enforcement.

Civil asset forfeiture is probably the most un-american thing going on in this country right now. I have asked many attorney friends to explain how it is legal and none can.

Basically, the people mostly affected are on the margins of society and unable to fight the system.

My assets would stay seized for about 5 minutes.
