    Something about this story rubs me the wrong way (not the reporting or writing, mind you).

    Yep. Another thing they do for "fun" is to set up survival sex workers with ridiculous offers (such as offering to pay them with McDonald's) so they can mock them in the media after they arrest & cage them.

    Replying to @Maggie_McNeill
    It sounds like they were bored and did this for fun, for entertainment. And ppl wonder why some folks, myself included, don't trust the police.

    Cops trick a lonely, obese young man into falling in love with a fake internet profile so they can destroy his life & shame him in public. I'm sure you feel safer now.
