Florida man seriously injured and unable to speak after encounter with police, daughter says after her father was falsely accused of stealing a banana - Lemmy.World

A woman in Florida says her 55-year-old “medically fragile” father was falsely accused of theft at a Florida grocery store last week and then seriously injured in a violent encounter with police. Now, she says, he is hospitalized and has lost the ability to speak.

We don’t have police. Just corporate enforcers. Pinkertons in different uniforms. Oh, you are accused of a 17 cent theft and didn’t do it? Eat lead I guess. I’m just so tired.
Bananas are $10
All this for a misdemeanor.
Lucille, is that you?
There’s always money in the banana stand.
