The NYPD is skulking through the L train demanding IDs from Black and Latino men, again with zero justified cause or explanation as to why.

Because people want to be left alone without being harassed for no reason by dirty cops looking to increase their arrest stats and get more promotions.

It's awful not being left alone. For example, I know someone on lemmy who was viewing this sublemmy, didn't do anything, got banned, and was so upset he actually died. The point is, people should be able to be left alone and do what they fucking want people being assholes.

I smell BS.

Didn't do anything, but got banned? Possible, but improbable.
Got so upset by a ban on Lemmy that the person died? So close to impossible that I would call it impossible.
