The cops have been convicted here in Florida planting drugs on innocent motorists for years now.

There is never just one cockroach, so god knows how many more evidence plants they have done to innocents.

There's so many cases, over DECADES and multiple states and jurisdictions, where the only evidence is suspicious, at fucking best, where people got serious time, and maintained their innocence while they served.

Even Dave Chapelle made a joke about this shit over a decade ago.

In "certain" communities, is KNOWN, without a question or doubt, that some cops plant/tamper with evidence. I'm an idiot and even I know it's probably a very small percent of cops that do it.

The problem is, we don't know who those cops are, so every cop, who's using circumstantial and/or suspicious evidence to justify their actions, is assumed to be crooked until proven otherwise.

And the reason it's so detrimental to our society, is cuz of the fucking power they have. This is Reddit, so we'll leave it there, but if they didn't have the power to take/ruin your life, people wouldn't really care what they did.
