You do realize that 10,000 nice. normal events are never reported for every one bad one? And that in this case we need the rest of the story for balance?
I'm in Georgia, we have a lot of authoritarians here, the bad cops and kangaroo courts expected with an authoritarian populace, predatory municipalities trying to raise money to keep their towns going after crippling tax cuts, and on and on. But cops don't exactly normally tase 87-year-old women of any color, and even POC, a third of the population, aren't really afraid to leave their homes.
Btw, schools have started. Maybe wander by one as the children are arriving. Happy scenes of normality guaranteed to make you smile.
