Shownotes Transcript

Conversation on the subreddit r/SipsTea about a courtroom video of a judge dismissing a probable cause hearing for a man accused of possessing marijuana. The conversation centers around the vague language used by the arresting officer, who referred to a "large sack of marijuana," and the judge's incredulousness at the arrest being made based on the man "walking while black" and jaywalking. Many commenters discuss how the police officer likely racially profiled the man, and the conversation goes on to address the issue of police misconduct, racial bias, and the excessive punishment for marijuana possession.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reddit-deepdive--6339456/support).
