You’re gonna get lit up.  –  “Officer” Henry Trujillo

This week’s video was sent by Rikki de la Vega because she remembered that I like these sorts of things; this one especially reminded me of Jim Henson’s “Number Three Ball” and the Wintergatan.  The links above it were provided by Nun Ya, Cop Crisis (x4), Mike Siegel, and Winnie Pond, in that order.

This is not rocket science, and it’s not an epidemic.  –  Jennifer Jenkins

I find paywalls distasteful, and so many people find this blog valuable as a resource I just can’t bring myself to install one.  Furthermore, I find ad delivery services (whose content I have no say over) even more distasteful.  But as I’m now semi-retired from sex work, I can’t self-sponsor this blog by myself any longer.  So if you value my writing enough that you would pay to see it if it were paywalled, please consider subscribing; there are four different levels to fit all budgets.  Or if that doesn’t work for you, please consider showing your generosity with a one-time donation; you can Paypal to maggiemcneill@earthlink.net or else email me at the same address to make other arrangements.  Thanks so much!

We are the law.  –  Allentown, PA cops

To honor the passing of Harry Belafonte, I decided to go with his best-known song; the words seem to take on a poignancy when used in this manner.  The links above it were provided by Phoenix Calida (x2); Jesse Walker and Franklin Harris; and Cop Crisis (x4), in that order.

I have been suing police officers for 39 years and I have never seen anything like this.  –  Jerry Steering

Back in January I featured a video from Afroman, mocking the cops who broke into his home, rooted through his possessions, and even stole his money based on claims that were absurd even by the low standards of cops.  But now, thanks to the Wet Diaper Gang suing their victim for making the best of the harm they inflicted upon him, I have discovered that there is a second video, “Lemon Pound Cake” (set to the tune of “Under the Boardwalk”), which I present here for your delectation (thanks to C.J. Ciaramella).  The links above it were provided by Wendy Lyon, Walter Olson, Franklin Harris, and Cop Crisis (x4), in that order.

I can’t switch off a feeling that I was stupid in the first place … I trusted [a cop].  –  “Sonia”

The work of a prolific TV composer may be much better known than its composer; that’s certainly the case with Gerald Fried, who compositions included the theme to Gilligan’s Island, most of the score for Roots, and a number of scores for Star Trek, including this one you’ll probably recognize.  The links above the video were provided by Franklin Harris, Mike Siegel, Cop Crisis (x4), and Lenore Skenazy, in that order.

They’re trying to George Floyd me!  –  Keenan Anderson

This week’s video, provided by Stephen Lemons, was made by a hip-hop musician called Afroman to mock the cops who raided his home on bogus pretexts; like the taqueria I featured back in January of ’16, he used surveillance footage in the video to have the last laugh on the thugs who violated his property.  The links above the video were contributed by Mirriam Zary; Franklin Harris and Dan Savage; N. Colby; and Cop Crisis (x4), in that order.

I wanted him to have a positive view of police…we ended up going to [the] emergency room.  –  Shelia Jackson

I hadn’t realized that classical Greece had an early form of pipe organ, the hydraulis; thanks to Genya for drawing my attention to this recording of a reconstructed example of the instrument.  The links above the video were provided by Mike Siegel, Amy Alkon, Cop Crisis (x3), Dan Savage, and Lenore Skenazy, in that order.
