| 49. Lesson learned: The police are fucking useless. |

The police are not your friend.
They're job is not to protect you, but to enforce the order for the rich subhumans that have wrested oligarchic control over this country.
Any raised voice is a threat to order, even if that raised voice is to ask them for help dealing with a person who made a threat of violence.
Oh no, the threat of violence isn't the problem, your raised voice and extended middle finger is the problem - it's a threat to order.
The police are the enemy of liberty. Look how they've been behaving in Cairo.
I'm sure the pig-lovers are going to be howling about my raised voice in 3...2...1...
