Ya I brought that up recently elsewhere. Why not defund politicians who have allowed this shit to happen in their cities. Now on to something that always pissed me off about cops, that blue wall shit. The way they protect each other is like mafia code bullshit. I’ll say the majority of cops are decent. I rented to a couple cops they were decent people, very humble, worried about paying the bills on time. I also had several fiends over the years who were cops, they were very cool and quick to point out faults they found with their departments. On the other side I have received an ass beating by cops and have experienced bullshit from cops for having a Grateful Dead sticker on my car. Anyway I drifted off, all I’m saying is if the cops are charged with enforcing the law they shouldn’t cover for the dirty ones which is what happens. Civilian oversight may help. Every department should have some non politician civilian oversight involvement. One reason I think it is a benefit is police departments hate it. Fuck this cops acting like a gang shit. I know profiling exists, I was profiled for being a dead head. That shit ain’t cool either.
