Emmett Brock was attacked by an LASD officer after he gave the officer "the finger" when he saw the officer berating a woman.
Then, because they're transphobic they did an invasive body inspection & charged him w/ "resisting arrest" (there was no reason for the arrest) Put him in the women's section.
Emmett's having a hard time so here is his legal fund. No one deserves this kind of treatment.

@futurebird I read his story the other day during work and ended up crying. It's horrifying because California is supposed yo be safe. I keep trying to tell people it isn't even close to safe esp in LA (the sheriff's dept is almost entirely gang run).
Emmett didn't deserve this.
@badtux @futurebird that's weird, I don't recall being so broad strokes with my argument because I comprehend the notion of nuance and the reality that this is not that and that MAYBE despite all cops being bastards not ALL of them are gang members. Because that would just be an absurd hyperbole with no possible grounding in reality or ability to functionally be prosecuted in a court of law under our current system?
IT'S ALMOST LIKE MAYBE I AM NOT PLACING ALL OF MY ARGUMENTS ON THE TABLE OR BEING ABSOLUTIST BECAUSE MAYBE I KNOW THAT DOESN'T FUNCTION IN A RATIONAL DISCOURSE ON THE SUBJECT?
No that can't be. I'm a silly person, clearly i misspoke for the last two paragraphs. Surely I'm mistaken.
