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
