New Louisiana Law Serves as a Warning to Bystanders Who Film Police: Stay Away or Face Arrest
www.propublica.org
Louisiana is the fourth state to enact a so-called police buffer law, which allows officers to order people to keep their distance. Journalists say the law will make it harder to document when police use excessive force.

      “But it’s just a few bad apples…” /s

      Like, yeah, maybe. But the expression is “one bad apple spoils the whole barrel”

        Wait, that’s the full expression??

        I thought it was “one bad apples seeds the union before retiring on full pension after paying out victims’ families using tax dollars”

        We should really rethink how we select and train these police if we’ve been using that phrase wrong!

      The cowards are not the problem. The liars, murderers, and criminals are the problem.
