It seems like violations that used to be rare and unique, and a huge deal like Watergate when they blew up, have become completely routine.

Seems like we get such stories every week now.

Reminds me of the Macklemore lyrics in his song "A Wake".

> I grew up during Reaganomics

> When Ice T was out there on his killing-cops shit

> Or Rodney King was getting beat on

> And they let off every single officer

> And Los Angeles went and lost it

> Now every month there's a new Rodney on YouTube

> It's just something our generation is used to

Edit: forgot anything to do with woke or being aware of a situation will trigger the anti-wokes. Apparently the fact that Rodney King was beaten on camera and all of the officers were let go with no consequences is very upsetting to some folk who think police can do no wrong.
