It’s still there, but they changed the name to Chad’s a couple of years ago in the wake of the George Floyd protests.

Speaking of changing names, this week New York banned the word ‘inmate’.

And of course there are always ‘justice-involved individuals’.

==========================================

And there are “peace officers” who are afraid of taking down a shooter in Uvalde, and other “peace officers” that kill you for missing tail-light on a car.

Who knew that assault rifle ammunition can easily penetrate their bullet proof vests. And waited for the arrival of better protection.

I saw a PBS program in which the speaker said facial recognition software should be banned from law enforcement as it discriminates against minorities.

WHAT AN IDIOT!!!

A better solution is how about we ask minorities to stop engaging in criminal activities. Problem solved.

Or build more prisons and lock them up.
