I felt like it was too easy catching him 👀

Yeah, weirdly convenient. I have no idea. So many twists and turns

cw possible torture?

I saw the pic of him where it appears he's urinated on himself, and he seems real hollowed out. People speculate the police tasered him over and over, and/or beat him up. If he isn't the perp (and even if he is), I hope he is able to get some sort of compensation, because the police over there seem to be releasing those images for the purpose of embarrassing him.

I don't feel embarrassed for him, I feel outraged he's being treated like utter garbage. Which will open my can of worms about police brutality, so I won't start on that 😅

Oh holy shit. I haven’t seen any pictures of the arrest. Nothing like that.

He has spinal fusion hardware too apparently, which comes with severe pain and need for management… I think these cops might be about to get sued. Definitely a shitstorm of negative pr

Edit: yeah the guy looks traumatized and I suspect he was mishandled
