OK, I deleted those two words. The larger point remains intact, however.

Black Lives Matter is just like the American Indian Movement.

1. Short-sighted.
2. Criminal.
3. Worthy of scorn.

Eventually, like then, the FBI will handle this.

The comparison is totally bogus. AIM engaged in armed resistance against the US government. Nothing of the sort has ever happened, or is likely to happen with BLM.

Would you want a cockroach crawling on you if you were injured?

Most people with this type of attitude sing a different tune when circumstance dictates their need for a cop.

But we know our TJ is way too smart for that.

The handful of times that I have called the cops, like when shit got stolen out of my carport and utility room, and the time when some fucking redneck beaned me with a Bud-lite bottle while I was riding my bike, the cops were as useful as tits on a boar hog.

They basically acted like they were annoyed that I had bothered them.

They filled out some paperwork which no doubt they shit caned as soon as they were out of my sight.

So fuckem.

Gee, Tom, sounds like you should have called a miracle worker instead of a cop.

If you really thought they were going to drop everything to find stuff stolen from your carport or the guy that beaned you with a beer bottle when they have real crimes to deal with (like, uh.... Gun violence, domestic abuse and maybe even murder) then you are really stupid.....

Oh wait..... I keep forgetting..... You are smarter than the rest of us.....

Really?

Well there was one here in Mobile that was willing to drop everything an write me a fucking parking ticket three minutes after the meter had run out. I guess that was a real crime.

Howabout the asshole that stopped Sandra Bland for not signaling a lane change?

Or the guy in South Carolina for having a third brake light out?

Or the one out in Texas that beat the shit out of that 78 year old guy who had an expired inspection sticker?

Boy I sure am glad the cops are out there protecting me from hardened criminals committing heinous crimes like that.

Probably is a crime if you got a ticket.

In most cities, the person giving you a parking ticket is designated to do just that and is not assigned to other criminal cases.

I'm genuinely surprised you didn't talk him out of the ticket.... I mean, with your superior intelligence and all.... Talking a mere cop out of a ticket should have been a cake walk for you.
