I was just realizing the number of times I’ve driven past this and never noticed it either. But to be fair, I’m usually focused on the road and making sure idiot drivers actually stop for the lights and no one is running out into the middle of traffic, and not looking around above me.

I'm ultra courteous until met with an asshole on the road. People get the respect they deserve from me. People driving recklessly and obnoxiously don't deserve to be treated well in kind. Fuck em, they ought to receive resistance rather than reinforcement of their actions.

Not telling you you are wrong, but these assholes already have a big head and inflated ego. I'd rather try to pop it than inflate it more. Not saying this is the right way. I'm probably going to get myself shot one of these days. I'm not saying I do any reckless manoeuvres or anything, but I will definitely inconvenience them, call them out, give them the finger, etc.

To be entirely honest, I'm not really sure what they do with their time.. They certainly don't have a good track record for solving crimes, or even investigating so many, according to many personal accounts. Also have never seen SPD pull anyone over for anything in Springfield. Lived here long enough to see crazy ass traffic violations right in front of cops, with absolutely no consequences. I've only really seen them respond to homeless people, just shoeing them away. Most of the time they have not responded well to people in mental health crisis. Look at the rape kit fiasco. SPD did nothing about those scumbag teenagers who were violently attacking our LGBTQ+ community, and one of them was the son of someone on the force.

In all seriousness, what does SPD do with their time?

Can pretty much guarantee that they thought this would work to be able install 5G or cellular RAD center… then guessing OSHA or someone with a brain in planning explained why this is a bad idea.
