You're repeating yourself Has anyone actually witnessed someone be surprised by cops being poo poo? It seems like everyone I know either believes cops can do no wrong and had a good reason for doing some heinous thing or the person already knows cops are poo poo. Have you ever witness a person realize that cops may actually be bad?

i think my boomer dad flipped during George Floyd, but he enjoys public urination so that seed of resentment was already there.

In happy news I sold my car and moved to Philadelphia. Walked to a restaurant and a store today, this loving rocks.

Remember that Philadelphia is a very car forward city, but also a very pedestrian forward city, and a very bike forward city, all at once. All modes of transportation exist on the same plane. Each intersection is a test of wills where the eternal question is decided: who wants it more? Pedestrians can cut off bikes. Bikes can master cars. The size of the vehicle or human does not matter. The only thing that matters is who has the greater will. All others must yield to them.

Now, the latest crime coupled with recent vandalisms to businesses and a sting of carjackings have people who call Shadyside home on edge.

“This is a great neighborhood, and we always walk around at night. It’s always been very safe. We walk around at night, so it’s disturbing. To find out there have been carjackings and tires that have been pieced… it’s incongruous,” said one resident.

LMAO.... oh now tires have been deflated w/ no damage to them! This is not unlike a carjacking!

That's a pretty $$$$$ area that has on-street parking.

People are absolutely losing their minds over it and comparing it to carjacking, like you read.

A lockdown is when you see anyone wearing a mask to prevent covid. A carjacking is when someone touches your car. Words don't mean anything anymore.

A carjacking is actually when someone jacks off to their giant SUV/pickup truck and it's surprisingly common in the US these days

It's normal to call cops for dumb poo poo. People call the cops for the pettiest and stupidest poo poo. 9/11 police response is about 70% of not criminal matters, then 20% misdemeanors, and that last 5% of real crimes.

On the topic of Extremely Heavy Vehicles but maybe only tangentially relevant to this thread but I just learned recently that Broward County Sheriff's Officers now have 1,000+ lb motorcycles that are loaded down with hi tech radar equipment that can tag, track, and clock vehicles in a 360° radius around them lmao

Now I need a signals officer to run the radar detectors and ECM suite to go to the store.

At least now I can put a chaff launcher in the bed of a pickup and actually use one to haul

The local paper has a column they run occasionally of poo poo people called the cops for and it's pretty great
