1. This kind of thing

Is so horrible it is medieval. Institutionalized thievery.

2. Cops are just the tools, that boring local government stuff is most often to blame.

Often this arranged at night at City hall without press coverage in positions without contested candidates. Occasionally an unarmed 18 year kid, or your wild reckless cousin gets shot in a traffic stop and you notice. That pesky neighbor Grandma with Grandchildren parked in front of her house and company all night long is left alone. You might be surprised what businesses are well regulated under the table tax free.

3. Definitely.....

One of those do you laugh or cry moments.

4. This forfeiture crap is ridiculous!

No oversight, no boundaries, they are going nuts stealing from innocent people.
They need to be able to show a direct correlation between the property they are seizing, and the money they used to buy it was garnered by breaking the law. The connection needs to be ironclad.

5. Poster number bias

It sure looks like members with a lot of posts snub those who don't have that many.
This post is superb, but hardly anyone commented.

6. Post something that DU wants to argue about and you'll get plenty of replies

Everyone pretty much agrees with the OP, hence they don't get many replies.

The best posts often go with few to no replies because the best posts don't leave anything to say.

7. Even if they don't comment as long as they watch the videos

it's all good
