Really depends on how much grand old protein is in the mama bird vomit that she receives each day from....

...wait,  sorry,  looks like the bird vomit metaphor has been used twice already in the past couple hours.   Better wait.

Speaking of indelible stains and rare plumage, how many people do you know or have you even heard of being sued by their niece for theft?

How much are you ready to trust someone who steals from their close family, not to mention, their creditors, their contractors, and the people of The United States?

The trump administration is based on a felonious premise. That is why we are watching it crumble away into dust.

Councilmember Mike Bonin

3h ·

Could police officers better respond to violent crime and real emergencies if they weren’t also tasked with routine traffic enforcement, taking collision reports, and ticketing people for broken tail lights or jaywalking?

Could those duties be better handled without using armed officers with the authority to use deadly force? Could alternatives methods of traffic safety prevent people from being pulled over and searched for “driving while Black?”

Those are questions Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson
and I are asking in legislation that seeks to change the negative dynamics of our current policies by removing armed personnel from traffic enforcement, leaving more officers available to better prevent and respond to crime in our neighborhoods.

LAist takes a comprehensive look at the issues involved: Read the article at http://ow.ly/JRU550BAKaS.

-----------------

What do you guys think?

As we re-imagine our police departments, should we remove armed police officers from doing traffic enforcement?

The way it is right now, a cop pulls you over for no reason, searches your car, and if he finds drugs then you go to prison. And if you struggle to avoid going to prison then you can end up dead.

Should unarmed traffic enforcement officers handle traffic stops instead of armed and deadly cops who are looking to put you in prison?

Also, on the issue of re-imagining our police departments, should unarmed social workers and trained psychological experts handle the homeless instead of armed and deadly police officers?

Can trained professionals handle some of the aspects that armed and deadly cops are currently doing, without carrying guns and without killing people or arresting people?

And of course, Wellness Centers like the one in Orange can help desperate people, without police involvement.

Salute,

Tony V.

You are on the right track, Tony.

We in CA may get there first, to our great advantage, since we are pretty far along in the vital national project of spaying and neutering our republicans.

Also, as we re-imagine our police departments, we need people who are experts at crowd control, who can handle protests and riots. We have people at Universal Studios, and at our other theme parks and concert venues and sports arenas who are experts at crowd control, and they can train people to do crowd control for our cities. People can peacefully protest without being allowed to riot, and burn, and loot. We have experts at our theme parks and concert venues who know how to do crowd control who can help our cities.

Salute,

Tony V.

Who CARES more?

For fuck's sake - if Biden cared as much as he wants you to believe, he'd be out there - or online - just about 24/7.

He's got more of a "I'm the guy?  OK, I'll do it - someone has to" attitude.  "Someone has to beat trump.  That's why I am running."

Just not fucking good enough.  He's not driven.  Really wish he was.

This is stupid. Even for you.

Ron DeSantis is the kind of lying fuck who enjoys putting his constituents to death, like trump and many others in that party.

After a Republican super PAC in Texas posted a photo of Senate candidate MJ Hegar featuring her tattoos and calling her a “radical,” Hegar had a quick response on Twitter: the tattoos covered shrapnel wounds she received as an Air Force helicopter pilot in Afghanistan.

"A pro-Cornyn Super PAC is using a photo of my tattoos to make me seem ‘radical.’ That's pretty funny to me,” Hegar tweeted on Thursday, referring to her opponent in the race, longtime GOP Senator John Cornyn. “You think I'm ashamed of them? They cover my shrapnel wounds from when my helicopter was shot down. They're a mark of my service to our country. I'm damn proud of them.”
