Hmmm, I'm a bit concerned we won't maintain the highest prison population on earth THIS way.

The NYPD hard at work, protecting stuff.
A funny thing happened here in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. Apparently this was supposed to be ground zero of the NYPD work stoppage. No arrests. No tickets. No nothing. Just police bunkered in behind the walls of the 79th and 81st Precincts, both of which now have armed SWAT types guarding the gates from imminent invasion.

the police are shit. I don't say this because I've been personally targeted by them for being brown (although maybe for driving a shitty car). I'm pissed because I'm sick of them blowing me off repeatedly when I needed help with domestic violence. hold up a few signs at walmart tho and it's a huge fucking deal.
