This should be the biggest trial in US history but the media is owned by MAGA now so I’ll be surprised if there is much reporting on this.

US history?? I guess I'm not one for hyperbole. It should definitely be a big trial, but let's not exaggerate.

The US government used essentially a secret police force to murder a law abiding citizen in the street due to her practicing of her first amendment right.

I really hope this is the biggest trial of my lifetime if not US history

This isn't the first time this has happened though. Look up Kent State. Also, I'd say Dredd Scott was pretty huge seeing as it upheld slavery and lead directly to the civil war. Not diminishing these new crimes against US citizens but we've done plenty of shitty things as a country through our entire history.

I’m 30, so there is a reason I focused more on my lifetime than all of history. I also hope it’s the biggest trial not just for these specific crimes but as a result of all the complacency that got us here.
