So this is two part blog about one thing.
An article in the Post had some great pictures about the riots in Greece right now that I wanted to share. Way more if you click on the link...
These are great pictures of a terrible situation, and you should be upset seeing them.
Except for the next one. This last one is my FAVORITE:
I love this. I love watching the cops take it from regular people. Look at that kung-fu grip on his radio! This guy just shit his pants. When I was younger I used to get in a lot of trouble. I mean a lot. I used to HATE the police. If I got in a fight they would CSI on my ass and track me down in another state. If a group of people broke into my parents house, damaged their property, and started a huge group brawl breaking someone's jaw (not a hypothetical) the police don't do shit. They were willing to make sure the damage property was paid for, but not willing to file any charges. I was always told that as I got older I would appreciate them. The system. The way it works to protect us. Well, I don't. I still hate them.
As the great Lisa Simpson once said about the police when Marge was a cop:
"Mom, I know your intentions are good, but aren't the police the protective force that maintains the status quo for the wealthy elite? Don't you think we ought to attack the roots of social problems instead of jamming people into overcrowded prisons?"
Man I love the Simpsons!
