Kalief Browder was 100% innocent. He was a good student and had never been arrested. He was accused of stealing a backpack, even though no backpack was found on him or anywhere near him when he was arrested. There was literally zero evidence.

Wise passers-by are often seen collecting drunk waxwings from sidewalks and putting them in safe places until they sober up to protect them from predators and other hazards.
