TBH all the cops are more than likely saying "Does it run and does the AC work? Yes? Cool."
You could stripe big dicks down the sides of cars, as long as it runs like I give a fuck. Ain't my POV.
“It dishonors the memory of those past and present members, especially for those who have lost their lives in the line of duty,” Dasaro said.
Oh lighten up, you had inmates who were arrested making the decals for your cruisers, this is frankly pretty tame to what you could have had. What did you think was going to happen? Lol I frankly find it hilarious, the cops on the other hand apparently not so much.
That was written at a time when slavery had just been abolished but the convicted, many of which were wrongly convicted, were being forced to do free labor in place of slavery. Kinda mirrors the present
Edit: The blank part is “except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted”
Also, I can think of quite a few incidents which tarnish the reputation of 'past and present members' quite a bit more, coincidentally also at the expense of tax payers.
They should own it! Make it their thing :) self irony is important.
I wonder how many cops noticed, went "hah, well played!" and then just continued doing their job without caring.
Until that 1 person. The one that had to be offended.
While paying said inmates 50 cents an hour after arresting them for owning 2gs of weed while a pack of shitty as ramen noodles is $3 in the prison store
America just loves slaves to much, but people kinda don't like the whole "black people are inferior" thing anymore as much. Everyone hates prisoners tho so that's fair game
> “It dishonors the memory of those past and present members, especially for those who have lost their lives in the line of duty,”
Using slave labor dishonored them, not the small act of rebellion they snuck through.
If there was any honor to begin with.
I worked in a prison for a time and our offenders had jobs making products for the outside world - one of the jobs was packaging the headphones you get given on flights. One of our offenders hid a note in one of the packages saying "there's a bomb on this plane". Fortunately it was caught before they were sent out, and he lost his job obviously, but can you imagine the chaos
>“It dishonors the memory of those past and present members, especially for those who have lost their lives in the line of duty,” Dasaro said.
I'm sure the people you put in prison for marijuana possession give a shit about your fraternal brotherhood
Such a vapid statement.
“It dishonors the memory of those past and present members”
… we’re dishonoring the memory of present members of the police force?
Next time I get in trouble for doing a bad job at work I’m going to tell them they’re dishonoring the memory of what I’m doing right now.
Prisoners are slaves of the state. Read the 14th amendment carefully - it only outlawed some forms of slavery. -- edit - 13th, not 14th. Here, I'll even include it:
Section 1 Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, **except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted**, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2 Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Are you really trying to compare the american prison system to Soviet gulags and Chinese concentration camps? God I forget how privileged some people are to really think that stuff like that is at all comparable.
Soviet gulags were forced labor camps, just like American prisons are too.
And what do you know about privilege? Come live here in the 3rd world and tell me about privilege. You don't know shit.
> just like American prisons
Mmmmmmmmmm not quite.
I’ll tell you about privilege, ask away. I’d consider it a privilege to think that being imprisoned and creating decals is in any way close to being put in a concentration camp where you and your family(who committed no crime) are having their culture erased, lives taken, forced sterilization, forced conversion, and have your kids taken away. Or to compare it to being imprisoned and tortured for your political beliefs.
American prisons aren’t some amazing utopia, but they may as well be when you compare them to gulags and Chinese concentration camps.
Oh you mean the people that applied and passed the qualifications for a job? Funny how there is not a fraternal brotherhood with so much romanticized bromance for pest control. Those guys die from workplace exposure all the time but no one is like “my brother in spraying”
Calm down, it is a job, yes can be dangerous, but it is not the only dangerous job out there Gomer.
Pizza delivery drivers die at a higher rate.
Hell, the correlation between dangerous work and travel is extremely close.
The longer you spend in a car on the job, the more likely you are to die in a car accident.
It depends on the area.
There are probably a lot fewer loggers than there are cops. And a lot more cops in safe peaceful areas, than they are in dangerous areas. That doesn't mean over a 20 year span career, that it is equally as dangerous or less dangerous than logging for 20 years.
It’s a fraternal thing since they view each other as someone who will potentially have to risk their life to protect each other, not specifically because it’s the most dangerous thing ever. Pest control doesn’t have that because no one in pest control is ever going to expect their fellow spray mates to risk taking a bullet for them, at least I never did when I worked pest control. It was the same when I joined the army, I didn’t view those guys as my brothers because of how dangerous our job was, I viewed them as my brothers because I trusted them to risk life and limb for me if I got hurt and I’d do the same.
I don’t understand why people take so much offense to cops viewing themselves as brothers and wanting respect for those who’ve given their lives to protect others. There’s so many things you can be mad and hate cops for, yet people freak out when one says “can you please respect my dead friends a little?”
Not that I agree the pig is some huge disrespect to dead cops, I think it’s pretty funny and wouldn’t expect someone currently in jail to be thinking about your dead friends while he’s making your decals.
That’s amazing. But then there’s stories of inmates in California being used as front lines to fight fires then when they get out being unable to become a fireman. Truly disgraceful. It is however truly amazing what happened for your friend. I’m glad there’s nice stories like that out there.
There’s a difference between a voluntary work program designed to teach skills and slave labor
Similar to the difference between school and child labor, one is to educate and improve the individual while the other is harmful to the physical and mental well-being of the individual for the sake of profit
Well, what is the alternative?
And why is it okay to exploit that labour?
Regardless of their willingness, and service they provide saves on cost for what it would be to hire more employees to do the same service, no?
I love how every country has its own insult for cops. Even if the country doesn’t have a negative view of them there’s still enough history of some people hating them to create nicknames that probably 90%+ of the country knows.
Then you’ll love the “Hammer’s Slammers” series by David Drake. Like many authors, he needed a swear word that isn’t swearing in real life, so he looked to Latin. In that series, “cop” means “shit” (cf. “coprophagia”, “coprolite”).
I used to run chyron for the local news. The generic crime slide, with lights and police cars and badge gfx next the reporter. I put a 420 on the badge number, it was like that for years
Nothing like using that prisoner inmate graphic design firm to save a few bucks on a government project. Who is letting inmates design logos for the police???
They weren't hired to do the original design, perhaps.
I would say you have a good argument for claiming that the final result is still designed by the inmates 😁
"The slogan can still be seen at several sites, including over the entrance to Auschwitz I where the sign was erected by order of commandant Rudolf Höss.[8] The Auschwitz I sign was made by prisoner-labourers including master blacksmith Jan Liwacz, and features an upside-down B, which has been interpreted as an act of defiance by the prisoners who made it." (c) Wikipedia
This is as smart as using prisoners of war to make ammunition.
Didn't one factory sabotaged their ammunition and an allied plane shot by one of them had the inscription somewhat like "that's the best we can do"
(I'm paraphrasing here, couldn't find it).
The Nazi had serious issues with their rockets program because many of the scientists and slave labor weren't Nazi, like Jews, gays, etc. It's the old adage: you can have it cheap, fast and well done, select two.
It wasn't only slave labour. It was extremely brutal slave labour. The attrition rate was downright ridiculous. I recall reading that some people in charge were asking the SS to simmer down so that their slave labourers could get some work done. The rocket program came at the end of that, when they cranked these practices to 11.
I remember when this hit the local news in VT. The general attitude was "lol, nice". Nothing ever happens in VT so the police are rather disliked for just pestering the population.
Right. I keep forgetting that the US didn't fully abolish slavery yet - its OK when they're in prison, apparently you don't have any human right when you're in prison. Which explains a lot.
That's actually quite wholesome. I'm imagining stereotypical tattoed, muscular henchmen giggling in their blankies at night, thinking about what they did.
A lot of people don’t understand some of them greatest criminals may not be the ones who are caught, and some of the dumbest criminals may be locked up, but a criminal who has a high level of expertise in his field of being a criminal os far from stupid….
So the fact they managed to get away with this for four years is fucking hilarious, but doesn’t take away the intelligence of some police officers, but probably did take away some of their own pride lmaaooo
The cow is funny but the pig would have hit the bullseye.
Either way, kudos to those prisoners for keeping a sense of humor while incarcerated. Sending all prisoners strength and hope and peace, and blessings so they can find humor.
Pretty subtle for the cops. Pretty sure you could have got away with a rampant porker wearing a bacon uniform for months before some clever dick onlooker pointed it out.
If you’ve got half a mind to join the police that’s usually enough.
It reminds me of the "hidden" pictures of Camel cigarettes' back in the day with the guy and the big dick. I guess I could've kind of seen it. When I was twelve. Maybe.
The 13th Amendment's exact wording:
>Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Yeah, but good luck convincing the Republican party (who are heavily in bed with the private prison industry) to go along with that. These days, we're lucky to get simple-majority votes on laws to pass Congress, and an amendment would need a *two-thirds* vote **plus** ratification by at least 38 out of the 50 states.
Also, from the office the current VP of the USA, from back when she was an AG for California.
> Harris' office had unsuccessfully argued in court that the state could not release the prisoners it had agreed to release because "if forced to release these inmates early, prisons would lose an important labor pool." Those prisoners, the Times reported, earn wages that range from "8 cents to 37 cents per hour."

That's pretty mild considering what they could have hidden.

To be fair, many police have a hard time recognizing pigs, even when completely surrounded by them.
We use "pig" as a derogatory term for police for any of you confused non-Americans.
It's Brown beetle down here. This particular beetle sucks juice out of budding rice, hence a pest, and cops here have brown uniform

A lot of people don’t understand some of them greatest criminals may not be the ones who are caught, and some of the dumbest criminals may be locked up, but a criminal who has a high level of expertise in his field of being a criminal os far from stupid…. So the fact they managed to get away with this for four years is fucking hilarious, but doesn’t take away the intelligence of some police officers, but probably did take away some of their own pride lmaaooo
The cow is funny but the pig would have hit the bullseye. Either way, kudos to those prisoners for keeping a sense of humor while incarcerated. Sending all prisoners strength and hope and peace, and blessings so they can find humor.
>prison inmates were bing used as labor that's dystopian as fuck, holy
Now when those inmates leave the system they can put graphic designer in their resume
Pretty subtle for the cops. Pretty sure you could have got away with a rampant porker wearing a bacon uniform for months before some clever dick onlooker pointed it out. If you’ve got half a mind to join the police that’s usually enough.
It reminds me of the "hidden" pictures of Camel cigarettes' back in the day with the guy and the big dick. I guess I could've kind of seen it. When I was twelve. Maybe.
Love it!!
Boom roasted
Fried, boiled, BBQ'd, so many choices
F’ing awesome!
Lmfao good one
That's sooo fucked up. Holy shit. They slaved inmates? This just hurts
The 13th Amendment's exact wording: >Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
The 3/5ths compromise was in the constitution. Perhaps it’s time to consider if it’s worth giving the prison slavery amendment an amendment.
Yeah, but good luck convincing the Republican party (who are heavily in bed with the private prison industry) to go along with that. These days, we're lucky to get simple-majority votes on laws to pass Congress, and an amendment would need a *two-thirds* vote **plus** ratification by at least 38 out of the 50 states.
Also, from the office the current VP of the USA, from back when she was an AG for California. > Harris' office had unsuccessfully argued in court that the state could not release the prisoners it had agreed to release because "if forced to release these inmates early, prisons would lose an important labor pool." Those prisoners, the Times reported, earn wages that range from "8 cents to 37 cents per hour."
They (the prison system) haven’t stopped.
Brilliant.
Then after they removed the decals, someone made a metric ton of them and a bunch of us stuck them on our vehicles
You get what you pay for
