I skew more "pro police" than most of GBS, but this is absolutely asinine. A police department in some little podunk Wisconsin town needed 2 dozen cops and an armored military vehicle to collect an $80,000 fine from a 75-year-old retiree. http://www.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/armored-vehicle-helps-collect-civil-judgment-in-small-town-b99376798z1-280427872.html quote:
tl;dr bored small-town cops use military vehicle to collect $80,000 from old man.

A good use of the towns tax payers money. I bet it cost 110,000 dollars to collect 80,000.

apparently, the point is not to remove the eyesore, but rather to punish people for defying the will of the township government.

the cops were bad at math, so their chief told them to bring a couple more officers with them to help count the money

Don't you understand how a Kyriarchy operates? It's a massive web of interconnected people oppressing each other and all it takes is one guy saying No to bring the whole thing crumbling down so that's why they need to put on such an overblown show of force against literal Naysayers

I'm more "pro cop" that a lot of GBS too (which amounts to me being "vaguely reasonably anti police") but this is pretty dumb lol. Someone should blow it up this guy might be a total rear end in a top hat though

Do they still teach kids to find a policeman if they need help? Cuz they should be teaching kids to punch the cop in the dick and run like hell if they get too close.

"But I choked my ire and held my peace, and the judge squalled that I had shown contempt for the court, and that I should be hurled into a dungeon to rot until I betrayed my friend. So then, seeing they were all mad, I drew my sword and cleft the judge's skull; then I cut my way out of the court..."

There are few things more likely to bring out the inner fascist than lawncare. The fear of one's neighbors, the possibility of criminal penalties for vague, catch-all descriptions, the back-breaking effort to keep up with the Joneses, and finally, the denunciation of the slackers next door who let weeds grow up. Death to subdivisions.

I like the part where the cops cuff him, take him to his bank to get cash, then let him speak to his lawyer. Next time they'll drive him around to a bunch of atms and make him withdraw the maximum from each before letting him go.

$500 a day in fines haha get bent. How about charge him the cost to hire a clean up crew which in turn would hire locals who could use some pocket money? lol j/k then they couldn't afford the 2014 model attack choppers the military is about to dump to deal with jaywalkers.

You think this is bad, wait until Podunk police departments start using UAVs on the reg. One is going to fall out of the sky by accident, poo poo maintainance or user error and kill a child.

If you're the worthless shitbag coward who fired a bean bag gun at a 95 year old man from 5 feet away and killed him how do you not kill yourself and your family in complete shame? Does that guy still wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and think "I'm making a difference in my community!" I read another article about that story and some retired cop said "They could've just shut the door and waited for him to fall asleep."
