Someone posted this on ssc with a warning about talking to cops, but really just marvel at what’s going on here.

Aaronson manages to turn a story where he is briefly arrested for a theft (which he did commit on video!) into paragraphs and paragraphs of indulging in his persecution fantasies.

Zero empathy on display for the people he stole from, the people just doing their jobs, or reflection on the fact that it wasn’t a simple little mistake anyone could make but rather… a fairly weird move? Do people usually put change in cups?

    “Your answers are rambling and all over the place. Stop making up stories. We know you did it.”

    Well, this is accurate, but not about how cops speak ime

    The rest of that…good lord, it’s like babby’s first run-in with this kinda crap. Not sure they’ll realize the critics have a point, tho

      My experiences with cops have ranged from the comically absurd to the “I just have to close my eyes and I can still taste the pepper spray”, so hey, I’m plenty prepared to be sympathetic with Scott Aa here. But boy did he ever step on that hard.
