I know someone who’s motorbike got stolen in Atlanta and the cops tracked the lo jack, then initiated a high speed chase that included a helicopter and briefly shut down part of the atlanta airport. They found the bike dumped in a forest near the airport and it ended up totaled out. This was a new bike, but like, an 8k one. When the person asked the cops why they went through all of that for such a cheap bike, they straight-up said they like causing high speed chases and exercising authority.
It’s not about the money, it’s about them getting to be cruel on your dime and you not having any recourse to stop them. They get off on that.
The cop quickly had to sort their inventory of handguns, this gun is for threatening my ex-wife, this gun is to shoot service workers over my cold burger, ah yes the shoot a black kid in the back for jumping fare handgun.
Can’t wait for Adams’ next primary opponent to run against him not because cops are shooting people over unpaid subway fares, but because the rounds of ammunition spent in the process were more expensive than the fare and so it’s not efficient fascism.
Imagine shooting someone over $3 in unpaid fares
Literally not firing the gun would have been the fiscally responsible decision.
Wasted $30 in ammo and shot like 6 people to stop somebody from not paying less than $3.
While costing the victims thousands of dollars in medical bills.

Wonder if any would be tempted to sue the city. If they win that’d be probably be a few million more just to stop a fare dodger

Cops are the largest gang in the world. And like all gangs, they have to flex their power so nobody tries to take over their territory.
This country is so fucking wild.
Literal cowboy brainworm shit.
