I don’t doubt that these injustices are going on. But the OP article said that “businesses” are being closed down. This appears to be false at this time. One cafe was being harassed until the A-hole cops got exposed publicly.
I hate hyperbole, no matter who uses it.
I tell people a TRILLION times a day, DON'T USE HYPERBOLE!
BTW: No matter how HORRIFYINGLY PAINFULLY TRAGICALLY AWFUL it really is, it is a MILLION times worse. Then things get *really* tough. After that, HORRIBLE things happen, and then we REALLY get screwed. Immediately following that, the BOTTOM drops out and we are all DEAD, and THEN things get HARD! Once that happens, it signifies the TOTAL collapse of EVERYTHING, and that's when the CATASTROPHE starts! It's the sign of the end of EVERYTHING, but after that, comes the TRAGEDY. Then times get DIFFICULT, and things get WORSE, until it's EXCRUCIATING, but that's just the beginning, because after that it's all PAIN.
I hate hyperbole too and I’ve called it out on here before. (And people get all bent out of shape and say stupid things like “I guess you prefer CNN.)
The real story appears to be about one business. Reportedly, one of the owners chided the cops for being thuggish with a pedestrian near their shop yesterday and the cops are trying to get revenge.
Or something.
