Direct action against the police works even in Appalachia

So this made the national news here - asshole cop beats the brakes off of some poor guy (black, of course) for jaywalking and not being sufficiently submissive: http://www.newsweek.com/police-officer-excessive-force-jaywalking-black-man-839232

Lots of local outrage as of course nothing happened until the video leaked six months later - cop has now been charged.

These just popped up around town today - these are actual metal signs, bolted to the poles, not some wheatpasted flyer: https://imgur.com/OZFWYZw

And then also today, someone did this to the Fraternal Order of Police headquarters here: http://wlos.com/news/local/vandal-spray-paints-black-lives-matter-on-asheville-fraternal-order-of-police-lodge

But the REAL story here is this - the DA is now dropping 27 cases in which the offending officer was involved, stating that he is no longer a credible witness: https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2018/03/12/da-todd-williams-drops-27-cases-involving-asheville-officer-police-beating-incident/418025002/
