Let's see the cops do actual work for once and get to repairing that bridge. Hopefully they don't shoot the asphalt for being black.
Instead of using rebar to reinforce the concrete, they unload entire mags into the wet concrete mix to get the same effect.

*from a firearm potentially belonging to the sheriff's department armory.
You laugh now, but next time a bridge collapse happens, don't bother calling the police.

we are having our noses smashed right into our own shit immediately and on a daily basis and we still don't get it. dumbest country on earth
learning "i surrender" and "glory to the peoples republic" in chinese and nothing else

Why else do you think Mayor Pete was talking about a per-mile vehicle tax to pay for infrastructure?

Rather than just paying to maintain the fucking roads, they’ll start writing grants to subsidize the costs of tolls
