So slavery. Let’s just arrest and throw people in prison for bullshit reasons to get slaves.
Great.

That’s why we have police in the first place. After the civil war the South, in order to covertly recapture as many recently freed slaves as possible, created vagrancy laws, sundown towns, and armed police. In Alabama, where the video is set, the state made it illegal for black people to leave a job, once they took it. The police in the south, especially in Alabama and Louisiana, arrested thousands of former slaves and leased them out to local businesses, in some cases victims of that system would be put to work at the same place, for the same people where they were enslaved prior to the emancipation declaration.
It’s one of the most fucked up and evil things America has done. It’s made even worse because the practice has been in use for over 200 years and no one, outside a small percentage of Americans even care.
Private prisons and work-release programs need to be ended now.
Worlds still hasn’t evolved past the 1960s
Progress happens, but it’s a far slower process than most people tend to believe.
Because it’s dragged down by conservatives and rich people who benefit off regressive policies.
Your statement is akin to “trickle down economics” where the elites control the fountain and gullible people think it’s going to reach them up any day now.
I think it is time for the state governments of Alabama and Mississippi to be abolished and replaced whole cloth.
Texas checking in, can you Hulk smash my government too, please?
Sorry, best we can do is elect Trump so that project 2025 exports this behavior to all the states. /s :-(
Don’t you put that evil on us Ricky Bobby!
Boo this person! Boo! Boo!
This is how they plan on filling all the gaps left by all the immigrants they want to deport. Next up are new laws that put even more people / groups of people, in prison.

At least they aren’t Uighurs. (/s)
Colorado passed a state constitutional amendment to ban this practice 6 years ago and it’s been tied up in lawsuits ever since
