This is an interesting case:

Local UofM Student Makes Case of Racial Profiling-UMPD Responds

Short from: a guy writes on Instagram of his horrifying interaction with racist cops. Cops respond with a video of the incident which show that it was remarkably benign 9to the point where at the end of the *brief* interaction, he asks *them* for a ride). So the question is: did the guy lie intentionally? Or did his brain step up the event in his memory, perhaps after being egged on by others? Did mental illness or drugs twist his interpretation of the event… or was it ideology?

So far, there do not seem to be any indications of consequences for the person who posted the false story. Even his identity seems to have been scrubbed. But given that this sort of thing, as we’ve seen, can lead to riots, arson, assault and death, you’d think that there *should* be some sort of investigation, with the end result being that the guy either needs assistance for his mental illness or legal consequences for incitement to riot, attempted domestic terrorism and insurrection, given that he explicitly uses his false story to support a policy of destruction of the rule of law. If this was not the result of mental illness, he should at least face expulsion.
