Day 1239 – More Modest Proposals

Wedensday June 10, 2020 

144 Days until the election on November 3^rd

224 Days until the Inauguration on January 20, 2021

There has been a lot of consternation of late on a number of fronts.

It has now been revealed that the officer who murdered George Floyd knew him. They had worked together as bouncers of some sort. Said officer was known at the time to be especially rough with black patrons. 

There have been photos of a man mocking those taking a knee by taking a knee but on the neck of another person and raising his arm in a black protest salute.

And  finally I have wondered what happened to all the 2^nd Amendment Stand Your Ground types. Why aren’t they out there brandishing their weapons in the face of the unidentified police looking types? Here’s a chance to protect the citizenry. 

And to the officers who pushed the 75 year old man to the ground, and kept moving. I have been told that their job is to keep moving and let someone else deal with the casualties. To this I have to ask, maybe we need a different kind of training?

Oh and then there are my right wing friends who post things about Trump that are in fact lies. Typically, this is accompanied with “Why isn’t the media covering this?” Answer – it’s a lie.

Okay, let me deal with all this in my typical modest unassuming way with a few tiny proposals.

Let’s get those fat fucks with their AR-15s out in the street to stand up to the police bullies. I’m sure that will help the situation.

Also, when is someone going to come up with a remote control robot to throw the tear gas canisters back at the police?

As to my right wing friends who like to post lies, depending on the lie I think they should be inducted into one of two clubs maybe both: “Trolls for Trump,” and “Traitors for Trump.” Nothing too over the top of course.

And to the mocking kneelers I think a little street theater is in order by re-enactors. There are Civil War and Revolutionary War re-enactors why not have some for police brutality? They could do like the police do. Go over, grab the kneeler, spray the folks near by with pepper spray, cuff the guy, put him face down on the road and kneel on his neck for eight to nine minutes. I think it would give a real look and feel to police brutality. Kind of put a face on it. 

So those are my modest proposals. Naturally, they won’t be enacted. I bet I don’t even get three million shares.

Oh well. Hey did you see Brazil has surpassed us on daily death toll from the Corona virus? Yeah, shows what a real tough guy can do.

Let’s not forget that if Hillary had been President this pandemic would have been a blip on the screen.
