    What is truth? What, in the search for truth, to find the guilt or innocence of man, to decide the fates of others, is permissible?

    Turns out;just makin’ shit up.

      From the pig’s perspective:

      “I know this guy is guilty. Because I’ve got a feeling, a hunch. Just look at him! He’s so <insert outgroup here>. He’s got to be guilty! It would be a damn travesty, a terrible injustice, for this guilty man to go free just because of some minor technicality like a complete lack of any evidence. I know! I’ll make some evidence! Then I’ll be the hero who saved the day and took this dangerous, obviously guilty man off the streets!”

        They literally believe this stuff. I was just arguing with a cop who was trying to tell me that every single person arrested was guilty so they don’t need to worry about the presumption of innocence when doling out violence.
