Even though they are busy serving as bouncers at Starbucks, crashing black cookouts and shooting black people in the face, police officers around the country often find time to have sex with the people they are arresting.
I had no idea this was a thing, but apparently, Kansas and 33 other states allow cops to stop and get frisky with whomever they choose, as long as it is consensual. And of course, it is always consensual. After all, who would feel intimidated by someone with a badge, a gun, pepper spray, handcuffs and the full weight and authority of the law?
Allow me to pause here and tell you that—even though you might think you know where this story is going, it is so much worse.
It begins with Lamont McIntyre, a black Kansas City, Kan. man who was imprisoned at 17 years old for committing a double murder. Despite there being no physical evidence, no murder weapon and no connection between the suspect and the murder victims, McIntyre spent more than 2 decades in prison before he was finally released. McIntyre was awarded a grand total of zero dollars when he was finally freed.
