Heads Will Roll. Probably not enough of them, though.

This from Politico on January 6, 2021. The headline is sufficient: Capitol Police firings imminent after ‘attempted coup,’ top appropriator warns. Shoot first, ask questions later. Right? I've got no qualms with that.

Mobs of White insurrectionists “protest.” Black civil rights protesters “riot.”

Now, children, raise your hands if you can imagine Black protesters being welcomed at Das Kapital by cops the way that they welcomed Trump's White supporters today. Keep holding 'em up, while I count. That's what I thought. I might be wrong about this. But I'm not. Source: Politico, January 6, 2021

Cops at all levels fail to protect U.S. Capitol

Some 30 federal, state, local, and regional law enforcement agencies routinely cooperate in law enforcement in the District of Columbia. How did they all fail so utterly and miserably to protect it from Trump's brown-shirt goose-steppers? I'm quite aware of the delicacies of this "democratic protest."

Opus for Mr. Holland: This little piggy went to market.

File under Swine Flu. Ousted police chief Lang Holland, formerly of Marshall Arkansas. He doesn't deserve a bigger photo. He does, however, deserve a mug shot. (Source: Yahoo News, November 9 2020) November 7, 2020 Marshall Arkansas Here's another example of how cop culture breeds too many pigs and not enough guardians. It seems that …

Two more Pigs self-immolate. That’s two less blights on the profession.

The day is just full of good news, isn't it? And whadda surprise: one of the porkers is from Alabama. But don't blame me, I'm just the piano player. This is reported by Fox News of all things, on Nov. 6, 2020. (If that rag reports it, you know it's disreputable conduct.) The Fox article …

Oh, don’t stop now.

Kudos to the WBMA reporters for covering this important incident. Kudos, even, to Fox News for the same.
