Oh, the irony! It burns…it burrrrrns!
If there’s two things Florida residents know to fear, it’s anyone with a badge, a gun or both. These days, stories of Florida police kidnapping, raping, murdering or otherwise brutalizing unarmed people are so commonplace that “fleeing and eluding” officers has become less of a crime and more an act of self-preservation. The sad fact is, encountering a cop in Florida these days means running a very real risk of serious injury or death- whether you’ve committed a crime or not. Want to get shot 15 times in your own driveway? Count on the Florida police to oblige.
