Racism is obviously good for the economy. Obviously.

Police unions resist change.

Can't they just taze the people they arrest?

Of course the pig unions resist change. They're the problem. Literally. They've done what the UAW did 20 years ago, overplayed their hand. Now they'll reap the fucking whirlwind. They're going to "defund" the cops. There are a lot of people out there who think that's a really good idea. I'm not so sure, but then again I'm probably not woke enough to trust in the essential decency of a bunch of pissed off ground apes who I don't know from Adam.

ETA but at least I'm well armed and provisioned.

New York City is going to shift funding from the police to "youth initiatives". Let me say that again - NEW FUCKING YORK FUCKING CITY is going to shift police funding to "youth initiatives". Have you ever been to that fucking place? I have. :funny: :funny: :funny: You could NOT make this shit up, you honestly couldn't, nobody would believe it.

Youth initiatives. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm not sure what "disbanding the police force" in Minneapolis means:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-08/ ... d/12331788

I mean, there is obviously a clear and urgent need for a major change in police culture there, but some form of policing is surely needed...
