Monoculture lawns defended with lethal force, snitching on neighbours, what a broken society.
It would cost less to send a mower than an inspector, swat team, and armoured vehicle.

Why solve problems when you can just resort to state sanctioned violence?
This may just be the most American headline I’ve ever read.
For real though, how can people read about shit like this and think we live in anything remotely resembling “freedom”

At this rate I’d take my chances in “authoritarian” North Korea.
Authoritarianism: It’s illegal to be a spy for a hostile foreign power
Not authoritarianism: death penalty for unmowed lawn
Tbf I did a bit of editorializing. The actual article’s headline is “Muskogee police release body camera video of officer-involved shooting”.
Muskogee police released body camera video of an officer-involved shooting.
State violence
passive voiceCode enforcement showed up because of reports of Bailey’s high grass that needed to be cut.
One, who calls law enforcement on their neighbors over tall grass? Two, if you watch the body camera footage, the grass looks barely higher than the neighboring properties. Not that it would be a problem if it was “overgrown,” but only the most suburban-pilled crackkker would think it’s “high.” The HOA-ification of America has been a dystopian disaster.
Presumably the same people who see nonwhite people parking cars on their street for an hour to get to the nearby park and call the city about “drug dealers abandoning STOLEN vehicles next to MY house”. They constantly lied about the cars being there for “weeks” despite it being different cars every time they called (which was every day).
Source: I worked for a city a long time ago. We ran the plates every time (the poor parking dispatcher had to call the asshole PD dispatcher [whose name I recently googled and surprise surprise he’s posting nazi shit on FB]) and not a single car ever came back as stolen. Sometimes whoever we sent out would run into the drivers and they would almost always be people going to the park. Other times it was neighbors who got new cars.
Short perfectly green invasive grass is more valuable to society than human life under capitalism and that’s how you know it’s the best system
“Citizen executed for having an unkempt lawn”
Both Sergeant Wilkins and Officer Johnson are on paid administrative leave.
fuck you fuck you fuck you
extremely telling of the mentality of yankee police that when they are shot at while inside a vehicle specifically designed to be impervious to small-arms fire their immediate response is to light the guy up
you can really tell they share training with the IOFChinese cops can detain actual terrorists actively engaged in mass killings but US cops are scared of toddlers with water guns
One of the few times I can recall recently of a Chinese cop actually shooting and killing someone was a dude holding a kid hostage with a knife to his throat who was about to kill him.
There are numerous videos of angry motorists in China assaulting traffic cops over getting a ticket, they just wait for them to go home and pick them up there. Chinese traffic cops are also unarmed.
I remember the first time I went to China and saw someone walking up to a cop car and knocking on the window to ask for directions. Needless to say that would get you summarily executed in glorious USA
Big article on snitching about code violations in Nashville, well worth a read. Shit is fucked. Original thread
this is comically dystopian.
the whole fucking city is just one giant gated community but instead of some rent a cops they have a heavily armed battalion and the ability to lock you up
For what it’s worth, BTK was a code inspector. Always worth mentioning with these ghouls
I’m once again comes for enlightenment, I not verse enough in the rules of the best country in the world(heh).
Why you need a inspector to see if the grass is too tall? Vermin control?
There is a practical reason to the grass directly around your home, like you said, to deter rodents and insects. However, that is not the real reason. The real reason is property value. Untrimmed grass supposedly makes the neighborhood unattractive for people buying homes. Local municipalities get pushed into making petty ordinances to maintain property value for sellers and real estate businesses.
Using the excuse of property value is how a lot of nasty local laws get made. A lot of the terrible anti-homeless action you see in places like LA come from the argument about property value. Safety and sanitation is only thrown in after the decision has already been made.
“Untrimmed grass makes the neighborhood unattractive for people buying homes.”
“But nobody in my neighborhood is trying to sell! You’re hurting the pollinators with this policy, and in 10 years you won’t even be able to keep your lawn alive.”
“SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!”I came for enlightenment. I received it
hoa wants it to raise property values
Aesthetic and cultural control in the pursuit of profit
The reason that this is a 100%
moment is because absent any serious reforms every cop who did this and does this will never ever face justice and every police department just gets more money every year until the sun expands and finally ends liberalism for good.This is working as intended.
We should be sending the swat team to the complainers
I feel like i just read a crystal ball about how I’ll die. 😕
