Well, those officers should be thankful, because their Prez has told them that drinking bleach will protect from covid.

Of course, their getting “sick” from the bleach was just all a hoax and a plot to make IMPOTUS look bad…

The NYPD needs to be defunded, dismantled and defenestrated ASAP and without mercy. It is one of the worst offenders in the nation and a stain on NY’s honor.

What the NYPD detectives jumped to a conclusion without collecting all the evidence and doing an investigation? That gives me a lot of confidence in the NYPD NOT.

So let me know when the NYPD Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch (crazy irony) apologizes for overreacting like a “crazed Antifa member.”

I’ll be waiting.

2,500 kcal milkshakes are bad for these cops’ right wing authoritarian figures and their health. Although, looking at a lot of these rotund, girthy cops banging heads at protests, that ship has sailed

When something from a fast food place tastes bad, my first thought is intentional poisoning.

So I end up thinking that a lot…

Typical of these police unions…Blame first, ask questions later. I think I see a pattern here.

Given that the usual approach taken by police is to lock up everyone and let the system work it out, it is remarkable that that the NYPBA didn’t demand arrests.

I suppose everyone’s seen this.

Protesters in Albuquerque wrapped a chain around the neck of a bronze statue and began tugging, chanting “Tear it down,” shortly before sunset on Monday. Their efforts to pull down a monument of Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate suddenly stopped as four shots rang out.

So the officers were “poisoned”, and with bleach, as they’d suspected. It just maybe wasn’t intentional. Maybe.

So officers should only eat at places that don’t rigorously disinfect their equipment?

Hate to point this out, because I love them, but milkshakes are hazardous to your health.
