So there's a purse-snatching in St. Louis. The cops grabbed up some random black dude, pretty much the first guy they came across, took him back to the scene and asked the victim "Dis da guy?" Witless says so, the cops arrest the guy and charge him.Sounds like a real loser of a story, right? Except it's all true.
Turns out the guy has a solid alibi. Tells the cops that. Cops don't give a shit. The witless told the cops that the guy who did the crime was wearing a hoodie and felony shoes. The guy they grabbed up was wearing a leather jacket and work boots. Cops didn't give a shit. As far as they were concerned, the vic ID'd the perp, case closed, and it was off to Pooh's Corner for some cold ones.
So finally, this all comes out. The guy they grabbed up was at a family birthday party, where pictures were taken and, surprise, surprise, surprise, the guy was in some of the pictures. It takes almost three months for this to be cleared up and, in the meantime, the guy the cops snatched up is losing business because people think he's a hoodlum.
So when this all comes out, the boss cop's mouthpiece refuses to say that his cops did anything wrong and says: "The system worked."
It would seem that compared to the St. Louis police detectives, Officer Toody was as smart as Sherlock Holmes.

The crazy thing is, they don't mind letting a real criminal off without pursuit. All they really want is one black man in jail per crime.
One of the very few things we even want them for is putting criminals in jail, and they've given up on that, too. Their self-righteous superiority is one of the most unjustified concepts in all of our rotten society.
Round up the usual suspects...
