Police are a gang.

According to the LA Times, August 1, 1988 featured a large-scale raid by 88 LAPD officers on “two apartment buildings on the corner of 39th Street and Dalton Avenue … It was an all-out search for drugs and a massive show of force designed to deliver a strong message to the gangs.” Police caused massive property damage (including smashed furniture, holes punched in walls, and destruction of family photos) and sprayed graffiti messages such as “LAPD Rules” and “Rollin’ 30s Die.” In addition, “Dozens of residents from the apartments and surrounding neighborhood were rounded up. Many were humiliated or beaten, but none was charged with a crime. The raid netted fewer than six ounces 170 g of marijuana and less than an ounce 28 g of cocaine.”

Y’all know I’m against incarceration and the capital punishment but maybe immurement can be the answer? It’s like the best of both worlds.

On the other side of the multiverse, over in the timeline where sharing is caring and where the downhill battle against the copyright trolls was won and where there’s an efficient peer-to-peer system for songs and videos, every now and then they take a look over at our dimension and they glance a li’l incredulously at what the heck we’re doing with our huge fossil-burning wasteful data centers to manage streaming and distribution and then other huge wasteful data centers make sure to keep it that way, to tear down anyone who’d dare to help distribute it.

He predicted that if a president was involved in murder, he would be “speedily” impeached.

Darling, stop confusing me with your wishful thinking. We both know that wouldn’t happen, that the president’s party would jam those spokes. This is the end of the three separate branches of government.
