Otherwise harmless cops...
 
...just fuckin' around with the burrheads on a Saturday afternoon.

On the local CBS news this evening in Chicago...4 white coppers escorting the peaceful "Black Lives Matter" demonstration on Saturday with the following blaring from the PA system of their unmarked cruiser:

Don't you dare say it's racist! That's just prejudice against the proud confederate history of Alabama, adopted here by the Chicago Police ... just because they dig fucking with the burrheads. :(

Bull Conner would be proud.

The Chicago chapter of the Fraternal order of Coppers suggested that maybe the song just by chance happened to come on the radio and the Skynyrd fans in the cruiser were just enjoying it. Honest to fucking Christ. When asked why it was necessary for their personal enjoyment to pipe it through the cruiser's PA and then roll up their windows so they couldn't actually hear it quite so good, the Fraternal Order of Coppers went back to their typical and historical "no comment."

Any comment Zeke? Maybe a bad, white, racist copper here and there? Maybe a bad copper of any color?

And if any other citizen did the same they'd be arrested for disturbing the peace. Fucking cops.....

Maybe we need to go back the the old 60' moniker and start calling them "pigs" again......

I like Eminem's version better.

Why are all these long time Dem (or in NYs case pretty liberal at least) strongholds having trouble with the cops?

Militarization of police I think. Heck, our town of about 42K residents where there has been a total of four murders in the last 12 years, has a SWAT team. Go figure. We have a 42/34 Pub/Dem ratio.

For the most part, that's where the targets are.

But the troublesome Walmart shooting was in Beavercreek, one of the nice Republican suburbs around here....

The police chief for my town walked with protesters for 4 hours yesterday (?).
