22. Piss/shit is bullshit

Standard "they're inhuman" trope in every city and correctional facility in the United States. Does it happen? Sure (especially in prisons). Does it happen even 1/1000th times as often as some cops says it happens? No.

Listen, I grew up with 6 guys who are now NYPD. They're laid the piss/shit trope on me more than once (not regarding protesters, but to justify any other aggressive behavior). I heard from one of them that Abmer Louima threw piss on Volpe, for example. It was all bullshit, but it works in general conversation to spark indignation. I call bullshit on the DT.
