      Improvised Uterine Device? Medically-assisted abortions are gone but the police still need protection from coat hangers.

          Let’s not pretend the average cop isn’t too stupid to understand "I"mprovised "E"xplosive "D"evice.

          It wasn’t some “witty pun on IED and DUI”. It was an idiot cop not knowing the proper acronym, nothing more.

    Let’s say you’re a cop and you get a call: there’s a hispanic gay crossdresser armed with a .50BMG sniper rifle with explosive rounds reported on the roof of the KwikeeMart, and they’re threatening to shoot the Walmart across the street unless they’re called by their proper pronouns, black lives/matter. This situation calls for an immediate response with at least a MRAP, and that’s only because they don’t have the funding for an airstrike from an A-10.

      Yeah I mean they would need an MRAP to keep them safe while they wait for the shooter to finish up or run out of ammo. We’ve got to think of the officers and their safety.

        They meant what they said. It’s Texas- they seem far more afraid of women’s issues than explosives.

    Slightly too big to fit through a school hallway. Just big enough to wait outside in the parking lot. We’ll take it - TX police
