20 M-134 miniguns placed in the right locations would be another way of dealing with rioters.
It’s nothing that a few nights of looting, arson, and rioting won’t solve.
Top it with a CVS sign. Remember the old saying? It pays to advertise.
The neighborhood kids just out for a little Baltimore fun.

Isn’t that what riot police are for?

Parts of it. Like, for instance, Baltimore.
We’re doing OK out here in flyover country though.
Chin up! There will be a day of reckoning followed by radical change for the better.
I was at a gym a few weeks back. THey were promoting an in-house meditation hour with the sign, “Meditation is the new kale.”
Need some mo’ kale in the ‘hood.
Or prescription drugs (?)
Get over it. Cops are not the reason why you’re a failure.
Slavery is not the reason for your failure.
You are the reason you are a failure.
