'Murica? Of course.
I got arrested for self-defence against a bully. I was still a minor. Then the scool district tried to expel me. Probably me being Asian has something to do with it, "perpetual foreigner", always expected to be submissive and this "model minority", always expected to endure abuse and any deviation from that make you an evil foreigner. Literally, its always white kids and black kids get along very well, its always Asians getting alienated, even the ABCs would bully you, particulary the English-only ABCs. I get excluded from both groups.
So... that day... that was the day I learned the truth: ACAB.
School admin sided against me, cops just accepted their side being the bastard they are, of couse it's me, the obvious "foreign looking" kid and therefore "must be" the "troublemaker".
Bruh, kids literally have mini-school "gangs" (not really real gangs, but that's how I'd describe their groups they formed). But the lonely Asian nerd is obviously the issue. FFS.
Authorities cannot be trusted, authorities must be constantly questioned and challenged.
School is authoritarian, this applies everywhere in the world, but especially in a very militaristic country like the US. Now to be very clear, I do not hate this country, I just hate this weird militarism and the obsession with "Law and Order" and rigid enforcement of rules, and BS "Zero Tolerence" policies, that turns a blind-eye to the first strike, then any any act of self-preseration is scrutinized and treated as the first strike, the aggressor. Any small incident is escalated for no fucking reason.
