    Sounds to me like law enforcement know they fucked up the arrest and search, that evidence won’t be admissible in court, so they’re trying to make it public instead to prejudice not only the public but the jury pool.

      Half of America would be partying in the streets if it’s found he was illegally searched and all that fruit of the poison tree ends up in the garbage.

          I really need a new word for it. Hate isn’t right, detest is too little, loath feels dormant… I need a word to describe the roiling plasma of rage that rests in my heart.

            When anger and disgust combine, you get contempt. And while the word doesn’t sound super impactful, contempt is one of the strongest emotions, and one that is often deeply rooted in your sense of identity. Because if you hold genuine contempt for something, it’s usually because it flies in the face of your core personal values. It’s an emotion that makes it difficult to even function properly when you’re near the target of your contempt; It’s the kind of emotion that drives people to violence.
