A 25 year old woman was arrested by San Bernardino County Sheriff's Deputies while getting off a bus. They said her eyes were bloodshot, and asked her when she last used meth...She had allergies and was using antibiotics. She was born with fetal alcohol syndrome. She was held overnight in the county jail despite a negative blood test for all illegal drugs, and was forced to go to court - 350 miles away from her home

IMO, police exist to protect the property and person of the rich from the rest of us. This "new" aggressive and brutal and thoughtless police activity has actually always been the case if you are a "minority", or look poor, or look "unconventional"...DA's, magistrates and county legal systems have near absolute control over us all unless you can afford a very good attorney, and they can seriously screw anyone they want with little or no recourse or repercussions.
