Police Officer Ties One On

We’ve had our fill of “Bad Cop” stories from the media, how about a “Good Cop” story for a change? This is from my neighboring Michigan community of Novi.

And here’s the news part: the Black guy didn’t even accuse him of trying to put a noose around his neck! Maybe there is hope for racist America after all.

I know it’s really, really hot out there in the West so do your best to stay cool. Even though Squad member Ayanna-Bald-is-Beautiful-Pressley has called you to the barricades: “You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there’s unrest in our lives.” 

Alternatively might I advise a hammock in the shade, some ice tea, and a good book. A far more civilized way to allow cooler heads to prevail.

Winslow Homer, Sunlight and Shadow, 1872.

And trust me, there will be ample time to demonstrate in the streets when Trump wins again in November.
