It really sucks to see Chicago cops standing around in throngs all the time, doing literally nothing but talking to each other and playing on their phones!

...the amount of time I spent trying to picture what sort of bottom-wear a "throng" could be before I realized what you said...

A thong appropriate for a throuple? (I'm sorry. That's a terrible image. 🤣🤣🤣)

"We've been completely defunded by the lib mayor and their lib cronies" - cops making more money than ever after the mayor said that they love and kiss all cops

Truly incredible - wonder how many of these cases required actual investigation rather than just locking up poor people who can’t afford bail in profit prisons

I feel like if we had actual numbers about the true origin of corporate profits and stories from the people trapped doing their prison slave labor, we’d instantly have a lot more prison abolitionists

generations raised on TV and the Internet are ill equipped for truth... or compassion... the arguments for legalizing cannabis are sadly financial, but that makes it possible the arguments for not rounding up poor folks and squeezing labor out of them? we need to find the financial arguments

The US, particularly the legal system, only cares about money. Katzenbach v. McClung, the case that basically upheld the civil rights act could stop places of public accommodation from discriminating based on race, was argued pretty much entirely under the commerce clause.

We used to have those. I think we called them unions and (enforced) labor laws.

"due to a lack of personnel". Right.

Shrugging and saying “sorry, if only we had more money” is the police answer to literally everything.

And more and bigger guns and tanks.

We can’t possibly process all that paperwork without some tanks. Like, at least two.

My hometown’s vice squad got so bored, they arrested a pimp and then took over his operation, exploiting & making money off numerous sex workers they claimed as their own. Worse, when it was discovered, nothing happened to them because the commander was the chief’s friend.

Cops are just pirates with letters of mark.

I'm from Albany, NU where the cops ran the citywide bootlegging operation and executed noted gangster, Legs Diamond.

Yeah this is not surprising at all. -someone who lives there.

I have an idea: Let’s increase their budget by $2 billion dollars, and get rid of any and all mechanisms for independent oversight of the department. Sure, there’s nothing to back up my ideas, but I just FEEL like it’ll definitely work, which as we know, is good enough. (🚨I’M BEING SARCASTIC🚨)

literally how could have defunding these police have made Houston any less safe

yeah, I'm gonna tell my boss that the last quarter-million tasks I was assigned are -- yawn -- boring.

This is what happens when corporations don’t crackdown on quiet quitting. /s

In Houston, the people who fight these felonies are called the "Lack of Personnel"

So all the crime stats are off. “ How’s my case coming ?” “We’re working on it the pace of justice is slow “

HEY HE SAID HE WAS SORRY 😝

It’s not like it’s a couple hundred cases. It’s a case a day for… 723 years.

Now that a judge has ordered Houston to stop ticketing Food Not Bombs for feeding the homeless near City Hall there may be additional resources for investigating sexual assaults.

Lack of overtime pay, perhaps? Cops look out for cops and for no one else.

In a general sense (I don't mean the cops specifically), can you blame us? It isn't like the entities/companies we work for have our backs anymore. Loyalty and dedication can't be a one-way street.

someone accidentally dropped an evidence bag of fentanyl in front of the door and they havent been able to enter the building for 6 months now

Too bad we will never get enough accountability to find out how many of these crimes were committed by cops, or friends and family of cops. Because a LOT of rape victims know exactly who did it and probably showed up at the station with a name...

Considering the track records for processing rape kits, having them not show up at all seems like a natural progression. And you aren’t going to be offered emergency contraception either!

this is what a “tough on crime” mayor gets us lol
