What state is this Suffolk County in?

There’s a Suffolk county Va, and I have no doubt they would act the same. One county over, a cop pulled over an Army Officer and told him he was going to “ride the lightning”. And then they maced him. It’s the land of good ole boys 🤮

Same here, especially after no charges for the cop.

It’s disgusting. Things like this are why the few times I’ve been pulled over my heart rate and anxiety go through the roof…and I’m an average white dude. I feel so much for POC who get it so much worse
