Fucking, that's the job of the fire department if we're going down that road.
- Fuck.. I didn't even go there at first
  
  Neither did the fire department, it's a gradual change. They'll get their guy in the end.
16 hours later

Everyone waiting outside: "What's taking so damn long?"

Cop, inside: "This would be easier if I knew how to read..."
The officer didn’t find the book, but police insisted they were obligated to investigate, as a complaint came straight to them.

And what law was allegedly being broken that required said police investigation? Oh, no law whatsoever? Ergo, the cops are jackbooted fascists? Sounds right to me.
at a school named after W.E.B. Du Bois of all things. He would be ashamed.
- That would require the cop being self aware. Or educated.
  
  Or capable of shame
- Wouldn't surprise me if some online troll made a complaint and picked a random classroom.
  
  It doesn't matter where the complaint came from. The issue is cops tearing classrooms apart looking for (checks notes), a book.
Just goes to show, cops will raid a classroom for a book, but not for an active shooter.

They aren't here to protect you. They're here to protect The Man.
Can we please start a rumor that guns make you gay? Double feature of making conservatives not want guns and not want to be cops.
- I'm trying to start a thing where we replace the phrase "gun owner" with the more realistic "coward", but I keep getting downvoted 😐
#NotTheOnion.. 🤦‍♀️

Also mandatory ACAB
Meanwhile the cops don't come if I call them after being robbed

Cool country we've got here
Gestapo
- No, not by a long shot
  
  Should we wait until it's a sure shot?
freedom is when the police kick in the doors of classrooms to steal "inappropriate" books
