Exploring News: #DefundThePolice

There’s only one way forward…

#DefundThePolice
Last week’s looting chaos quickly turned to police riots. Across the USA, cops went out of there way to assault. run over, and illegally arrest both protesters and essential workers.

These idiot cops think that they ‘are winning’ or that they somehow won against the savage masses who rely on them to maintain order. This of course is far, far from reality. Ask anyone if they’ve ever called or needed the police, and what the outcome of that interaction was.

Now we’ve got at least 22 NYC city council people on board to #DefundThePolice. Left leaning and newly elected Democratic Socialists are laying the groundwork to take billions of dollars out of bloated police department budgets and to enact new rules to remove racist ass officers faster.

The police have “won” a few battles, but they will lose the war. They will lose the war because all of you will turn out and vote. You’re going to protect black lives not just by protesting, but by making sure any candidate that doesn’t work to defund the police never sets foot in office again. The tide has turned. And we’ll be moving against the police for years to come. Cop Culture must be destroyed. Black Lives Matter.

To get there, we need to move on many fronts. We will need to take away bullshit work that cops use to demand big wages and more cops. We need to legalize marijuana and sex work. We need to hire more social workers and psychologists to handle the mentally impaired. We need to create a legal office where people who have been robbed, or have had their property damaged, can receive the paperwork they need to submit to insurance. We need to take this work away from armed thugs who are all to happy to beat up the victims and claim they were reaching for a gun. We need this organization to track trends in crimes and forward the data to specialized investigators who will then address the issues as a detective might.

Sure, we’ll maybe need a few cops for emergency situations, but if we take away all of these mindless tasks they currently perform, we can address all of the above issues in a significantly more robust fashion, and without an armed paramilitary force occupying our cities and abusing civilians.

ASS: Assorted Subway Shenanigans
The NYC Subway has resumed 24 hour service this week. The city of course has completely failed to provide long term housing solutions to the homeless who previously slept on trains overnight, so we’re going to be right back where we were in a week. What was that about defunding the police and realigning our priorities to deal with actual problems in a constructive manner? Imagine if we just peeled off a few million from cop overtime and actually gave the homeless a hand up?

A SWARM OF SHORTIES
Australian sewer workers had to deal with a fatberg the size of a small car last week. What would you do if you were draining and came across such a huge obstacle?

There’s never enough El Chapo Drug Tunnel content.

That empty office tower in Richmond bought the farm last weekend. There’s a bunch of video of it online.

Officials in Missouri are looking at reusing a bando school as a halfway house.

Rioters who looted police radios from the NYPD have been playing Judas Priests “Breaking The Law” over the air. This was like the theme song for the first incarnation of LTV Squad in the late 1980s, so I 100% approve.

Hitler Trump Bunker
Last week chickenshit coward Trump was whisked away to a bunker under the White House. While quite a bit is unknown about this bunker, we learned that very few presidents have ever had to be hidden in there before. Maybe some day he’ll be forced back into the bunker, and we can fill it with enough tear gas to choke his racist ass out.

Bando BBQ
A big ass bando warehouse in Fond du Lac Wisconsin burned up last week.

The former Richland Piano company in KALAMAZOO michigan got a bit toasty last week.

International Update
Mmmmm bando train in the UK. Now that’s what I’m here for.

There is a deserted island in Hong Kong and if you ask me, not enough bandos on it.

Melbourne has quite the underground, and here’s a good interview to learn a bit more about it.

Morocco is building a new tunnel to declutter some traffic Marie Kondo that shit and then bring in Kondo to declutter the police. What?

And that’s a Wrap:
Defund the Police. There’s nothing else to talk about.

NOTE: It sometimes takes a short while for comments to be approved - unfortunately there's a lot of spam comments that come in. I absolutely love when y'all share personal stories of friends relatives etc who worked in these places. It really helps capture what these places were like before they closed up shop.

If you're feeling salty, argumentative comments completely devoid of facts (supply links to support your argument) will not be published. Got a case to state? come with the details.
