So the other day, I was checking the racist FBI UCR system reports of felonious (non-accidental) police deaths, and once I did the math, it turns out that an average black person is approximately 4.46 times as likely as a white person to kill a police officer. I feel like if we just asked police officers to stop defending their lives in a way which is so racist, the black "death by police" rate would drop pretty dramatically.

Peeling back the layers, it becomes readily apparent that this is clear evidence of the failure of capitalism, which is Trump's fault.

Lib: "CAPITALISM HAS FAILED!"
Me (whispering into their ear): "Remember that Mariano's supermarket in the yuppie part of town which you smashed and ransacked four days ago? It's already back open. Capitalism did that."
Lib: "No, that's not true! That's impossible!"
Me: "Search your feelings, you know it to be true."
So, yeah. Still boarded, but the inside is cleaned up and they're open for business. The liquor section hasn't been fully re-stocked, but all the important staples are on the shelf. Including, as you can see from the panic-buyer at the far left, toilet paper.
