  1. This is how you create generations of people who do not trust the law and systems it’s built upon.

    If everyone in society is not protected by the social contract, what right does society have to expect them to hold up their end?

  2. > She said 58% of children strip-searched over the two-year period were black, despite just 19% of 10-17 year-olds in the UK capital having this ethnicity.

    > The commissioner also found that in nearly a quarter of cases the search took place without the presence of a third adult.

    > More than half of the searches did not lead to a prosecution, with Dame de Souza saying they were probably not “warranted or necessary in all cases”.

    UK drifting into USA cringe department.

  3. Have you ever noticed how it’s “children” if a given media outlet (not just this one) supports their case but they’re called “teenagers” or “young adults” if they want to paint said persons in a bad picture?

  4. I wonder if we will ever just stop with this whole war on drugs shit. Not having police searching people for weed and what not would probably do wonders for relations between police and the population.
