Think of the overtime, too.
Chicago is so bankrupt that earlier this summer the city told the cops that
overtime pay would no longer appear in their paychecks,
but henceforth would appear as a credit towards comp time
(? the language is technical and unclear to me).
And that's just because the normal everyday community rioting and looting
is a budget buster. Unconstitutional sweeps for legal arms
would be an expense on
top of that.
That's just the Second City; but never say they
can't be trendsetters for the nation.
Yeah, I was pointing it out from the union's perspective: "Hey! Chief! You're sending our members in after people's guns without a good constitutional reason to do so, and it's dangerous. Why?"
If every confiscation went kinetic, cops might start warning the targets to GTFO.
1. The democrats are the party of the rich, what used to be known as the country club/yacht club republicans. They're all democrats now.
2. These establishment types DO NOT want to fundamentally transform the country. Why? Because they are all getting fabulously wealthy. They want to freeze civilization at a certain point where they have power not to wield it, but to get rich and keep it that way.
One of Howie Carr's eternal mysteries is why pols vote in a way
that will utterly ruin the lives of their descendants.
They act as if they will never receive the consequences of
their stupid attempts to destroy society.
It's not like most of them are so rich that even their grandchildren
can afford to spend their entire lives in gated communities
(let alone secret remote underground bunkers).
3. Republicans also have boatloads of establishment types that are using government to profit immensely at the expense of the little people.
4. They are not going to rock the boat to 11 (communist levels) because it will mean that they no longer have power or wealth.
5. Not rocking the boat means keeping it just about the way it is now.
Be alert to politicians behaving as if they can turn off the whirlwind on command.
Very few Old Skule Donks have been put out to pasture by the likes of AO-C yet,
let alone robotic Antifa city-killers.
That's a real risk, and it's not yet obvious all the old-generation Donks
even realize they're whistling past the graveyard whenever they encourage the mobs
and the Young Turks that have gotten into office.
The current civil unrest is a political creation. As soon as a (D) is in office it will be Janet Reno's Dance Party Inferno and it will get zero coverage.
They can twist the knob, but that don't mean the tap's gonna turn off.
Wait until the light bulb goes off over the heads of the mobs
that they don't
have to take orders from their handlers.
