Cook County is one of the worst places in the US for Law Enforcement brutatity. The Chicago Police Department even has a black site where suspects are detained and tortured extrajudicially, and yes, the police there routinely will kill someone to control the narrative and then have the precinct coroner cover the tracks.

So ACAB, especially in Chicago.

I work at a grocery store and I see more firefighters than cops. Usually the firefighters get some fruit/veggies and some bread, haven’t really talked to them yet.

That’s because the firefighters actually live at the station for several days at a time. And since they need to be available at the station in case of a call, they will cook at the station instead of eating out at restaurants.

So yeah, firefighters buy groceries, but cops eat out in their cruisers.

I’m sure it’s still the case but in Toronto at Danforth and Donlands is a restaurant called Square Boy. It was jokingly referred to as the safest place in Toronto because it was always serving police and firefighters. Best goddamn gyros I’ve ever had. Their burgers are lit too.

Or the unsafest place, if you’re not privileged.

yeah it’s such a bummer to point out inequality, much more socially polite to suffer in silence like the good ones

i’m just so tried of hearing about other people’s strife, it’s really starting to bum me out!

Only restaurants you’ll find following cops are the ones that give them deals.

Suppose in your own town you could write down where you see their cars and go later.

If you’re anti-police and it’s a large restaurant, or you’re prone to choking, it may be safe or safer too.

some people like watching animals, including pigs, grazing on their natural habitat.
