Addv4 , in Rock climber sentenced to life in prison for Yosemite sexual assaults

At least 5 known sexual assault claims (3 not pursued because not on federal land), at least 9 restraining orders, and hundreds of threatening calls to his victims (while in police custody).

the_doktor , in Google accused of secretly tracking drivers with disabilities

Jesus christ. And to think these people see themselves as the good guys.

jjjalljs , in ‘Psychologically tortured’: California city pays man nearly $1m after 17-hour police interrogation

It’s truly staggering that the usa managed to utterly break every union up except the ones protecting the police when they do heinous things.
