Ferguson Police Chief is saying: "To answer your questions in turn: . . . No! . . . The Ferguson Police Force is not overly armed! . . . You never know when an invasion, like by aliens, can happen. . . . Or when zombies begin turning your children into their demonic weapons! . . . Haven't you ever gone to the movies? . . . What are you going to do then? . . . If anything, we need more arms like rocket launchers, and more armed troop carriers. . . . Why, I'm still waiting to hear on a request for five gross of claymores. . . . And another resounding 'No' to your second question. . . . S.W.A.T.'s response was not over-bearing or brutal. . . . On the contrary, we've been as gentle as you can expect. . . . After all, we've kept from napalming the crowd, didn't we? . . . at least up to now!"

1. Archie Bunker contradicts self three times in 12 hours. n/t

[valerief]

3. Holy crap, I was thinking Carroll O'Connor when I saw that pic, too.

Fuckin' Archie Bunker runs the U.S. now. No wonder why we're such a crap 'developed' country.

[calimary]

5. Good point. Tragic, disgusting, abhorrent. But a good point.

The Archie Bunkers are running the country now. Great.

Back in the day, the Archie Bunkers of the country were objects of derision and ridicule (justly deserved, imo). So were the Frank Burnses ("M*A*S*H&quot . Comic foils. Figures to be laughed at. The skunk at the picnic. The crazy uncle you kept in the attic.

Unfortunately, now, they're monopolizing Congress and running all the big "think" tanks and foundations on the radical wrong, and getting all the attention and deferential treatment on the news.

8. I noticed the Archie Bunker resemblance yesterday

From some angles. Definitely this one.

2. From the 60s regarding southern cops: PIG. They are back.

9. Look our time machine doesn't even have weapons on it.

We only use it to go black er I mean back in time and kill suspects after we have identified him at another incident location. We also can use it to go back and get one of friends in the press and *chuckle* we have a LOT of friends in the press to make FOIA requests for videos they won't know existed in the future or the present... Ok now I am getting confused. Some mistakes were made like not doing the 3PM press conference in the morning and the morning one later but hey it's been crazy around here since that kid kept getting in front of officer Wilson's bullets. I mean I got replaced by a black guy the other day an ARMED black guy at that.

10. ...so to continue. We have an ongoing investigation

and timing is important. That's why the Pentagon gave us the time machine. So now our friends in the press can request stuff and we can go back and get it. But we have our priorities in place.
1. see about getting the time machine weaponized. That would solve all kinds of problems
2. racing stripes on the time machine
What's that? (turns to hear deputy) Oh yeah that would be sooo cool
3. maybe flames on the time machine. Good idea Deputy.

Now we just got a report from the time machine that the lights about to go off at the Krispy Kreme so I am going to have to end this press conference now. Fire up the armored personnel carrier!!

11. A whole world densely imagined . . .

12. "Many of our officers cut their teeth, so to speak, in Chicago, August 1968.

Why do you ask?"
