Conservatives: acab? Who are you gonna call when you need help? A crackhead?
cops: it is illegal for you to approach me if I feel like it
crackhead: i'll do anything for you for 50 bucks
I love the knowledge that if someone is breaking into my house, the cops will show up later to tell me nothing will be recovered and to hand me a piece of paper.
My friends sister lives in an area where you're never more than a minute away from a cop sitting somewhere looking to ~~collect taxes~~ give a ticket. She literally watched someone pull out of her driveway in her car and immediately called the cops. The car couldn't have been more than 1 block away and they said "sorry can't help you, call your insurance."
I drove to target and saw 6 cop cars and probably a dozen cops all holding on or standing near a guy with a bag who stole something...
They're fucking useless pet executioners, tax collectors, and defenders of obscene wealth.
This is blatantly false and I won't stand for the sullying of taxes like that.
Taxes are (generally) distributed to the community and not just straight to the justice system, and the IRS is actually willing to work on improving things and working with people. I'm also pretty confident the IRS is definitely on the lower end of the doggo body count compared to a lot of the other 3-letter agencies.
Lol I appreciate your rightful defense of taxes and the IRS. I was just "joking" about how cops aren't here to help or protect us, they are here to extract more money from us and to protect the wealthy. The IRS is it's own thing and definitely needed.
:P
At least they'll shoot your dog for free... whether you wanted them to or not.
Beautiful, wipes tear from eye it's just as our forefathers imagined.
…O’er the la-and of the freeeeeee!
also cops: sometimes we will just come into your house and kill you even if you're the victim, oopsie doopsie
