Prank on Police is bad PR
It was almost two weeks ago that a Massachusetts State Police vehicle
was found with a strange bumper sticker reading “racial profiling saves
lives”. But that hasn’t stopped our media friends from cranking up the
OUTRAGE (!!!!!) machine once again. […] (ACCORDING TO THIS LL ASSHOLE)
Meanwhile, the Boston Globe’s headline calls it “an offensive” bumper sticker:
State Police cruiser vandalized with offensive bumper sticker
State Police determined that a sticker reading “Racial Profiling
Saves Lives” slapped onto a trooper’s cruiser in late August was an act
of vandalism.
Offensive to whom? Boston Globe reporters?
Yes, some people are angry about this, but other words and phrases
come to mind first, like “bizarre”, “brazen” (the perp), “mildly amusing
prank”, etc. If it’s that easy to place a sticker on a police cruiser,
they’re lucky the message wasn’t far worse. But as usual, the media’s
looking to stir up the public, hoping for Ferguson-like violence in the
Boston area.H/T: WeaselZippers dot com
