TAR. FEATHERS: Cop Cleans Out Wallet Of Unlicensed Hot Dog Vendor Just Because He Can. This isn’t “civil forfeiture.” It’s outright robbery under color of law.

This is what the UC Berkeley police do instead of stopping Antifa from breaking heads and silencing speakers.

UPDATE: From the comments: “I choose a psychological explanation: Having lost control of the peace, stability, and order of the campus in all the ways that matter, the campus police choose petty assertions of control that allow them to feel that they do still have power. They look for the people who are easiest to dominate, and then dominate them in obviously excessive and asinine ways, because it’s a way for them to not notice the way they’ve been dominated. A bunch of campus-adjacent randos are going to pay a steep cost for the way the UCPD has gone into a crouch in the presence of antifa.”
