You could see the pattern in the Amber Guyger protest. A couple dozen people blocked a major street and the cops arrested them all and delayed the bail hearing to they spent several days more in jail than necessary. Of course they were all black and in need of a job. Good luck finding an employer who upholds your constitutional right to protest.

Why do they need to set bail at all? There wasn't even property damage! Just take name and address and issue an appearance ticket for a court date, if one is needed at all.

Meanwhile the Minneapolis killers are out on bail. They committed a violent crime, they are a flight risk, there are concerns about witness intimidation, yet they are out on bail. It's clear that the system is broken.

Source? All I can find is that bail was set at $750k or more each. I haven't seen anything that said that someone paid it.

The police union will make bail, no need to worry. It's scandalous that bail has been set at all.
