Have no choice sounds very similar to "just following orders". They all have free will, they all have a choice.
American cops can shoot people in cold blood and get away with it, do you honestly believe they wouldn't get away with choosing not to zip tie disabled people?
It is 100% fucked up. I am just saying that it isn't a one off because the cops felt threatened. This is institutional practice and standards without exceptions, even when it is cruel and makes no sense.
Word. Systemic poverty, systemic racism, systemic police brutality are just that, systemic. Actions perpetuated by norms within a society or group reinforced by rules and regulations that further normalize the behavioral expectations.
There are playbooks to disarm systemic stuff, and they do take concerted efforts to break that system. The movie Brazil documents all of the horrors and risks.
