    A 3 year old was dumped at a hospital covered in bruises and died. Suspect not caught. But I feel safe knowing they’re out there protecting what matters

    Look, they aren’t doing anything, I should cut their funding…oh shit that wasn’t good. I guess I’ll spend a third of our taxes on this.

      No you cut the funding that goes to poor people, so when they start to revolt, you can use that savings to help fund your security to protect you from the angry poor people, and spend more on security then you would have spent just keeping the poor people happy.

      This is what conservatives call, “fiscal responsibility”.

      You kidding? This is probably the best use of cops. Instead of harassing minorities they’ve created a human shield that will scare off people from purchasing Nazi mobiles.

      If tax money is going to cops, they might as well be doing the job of a protest but more effectively.

        I’d rather they not be used to defend billionaires. If this is what they spend their time doing then we could save some money in the budget by firing them.

          They’re not gonna fire them, though. At least this shows billionaires are scared.

        As I understand it to be, these guys are off duty and have no guns in their holsters and they’re getting paid by tesla. That’s how it usually works but I bet these cheques are signed by the feds.

          Then they are all impersonation police officers and should be charged with federal crimes.

            Can you impersonate a police officer if you work as one?

              If Pepycito is right, they might be employed as police officers, but they’re not currently working as officers. I’m no expert on US law, so I don’t know if that actually counts as impersonation, but knowing the US it proposal doesn’t matter since it wouldn’t be enforced anyway.
