@@mitchhosking5599 if we all have jobs as cops, crime will go down (well except for police beatings, killings, and bribes) and we’ll have universal health care! That’s the type of outside the box bipartisan idea that just might save this country imho
Is there a correlation between the number of cops in a city and the range of urban sprawl in a metropolitan area? Cops like to live in the good neighborhoods where real estate speculation is more entertaining.

That was the main reason for the Memphis Police to go on P.R overdrive during the days before the footage release.

When this guy obviously became the most hated person, Cesare showed up, executed him for “his cruelty” - had him quartered and his bits exposed throughout the city, the whole thing - and announced a bunch of reforms that had shit to do with anything, it was mostly about lowering some taxes, commerce, fucking paving some streets and public festivities, and immediately became adored by the people for it.

when I think of protection of the weak and vulnerable and the order of law, I think of scorpions, these are basically synonymous after all
