They'll report something about that even if someone just made a call

Correct @ThisIsChris

"Checking out some posters someone said are encouraging people to attack minorities"
"ok found 'em, it's just those Identity Evropa guys again"

They keep making a big deal about our posters and flyers.

Ah ok Chris

That makes more sense.

Yes. If someone reports it, a police record must be made and that report is a part of public record. That's the "police blotter"

It's not the police making a big deal about them, it's someone hearing the posters being checked out on the radio. Then they spin together an article that says "these posters were investigated by police. You know what was on the posters? 'Identity Evropa'. You know what the SPLC says about Identity Evropa? Let me tell you"

very little to do with the police themselves

I worked as a police dispatcher many years ago and we always made sure to ask people who were reporting really mundane things, "Would you like to make an official report on this and have an officer contact you?" Their answer, yes or no, determined whether or not it went on the blotter.

The "officer contact you" bit usually deterred people from wanting to make an official report. But sooooooooooooooooome times...you got those people who just wanted attention and needed to report every damn dog barking

IE flyers are the new "I hear a loud dog barking at 11pm" 9-1-1 call.

The police said they launched an investigation in the past but noting came of it.

This has happened to me numerous times before... Over the last 3 years before i was even involved in IE.

And noting has ever come about because of posters.

True story: we had a fraternity whose pet rooster got loose one night, and it was wreaking havoc and mayhem for several city blocks, running all over the damn place attacking people walking their dogs, jogging, etc. We got 9-1-1 calls for hours. We literally had like 6 officers chasing this damn thing for an hour and a half until they finally gave up...they couldn't find it. So, the Sergeant on duty had one of the rookie officers put out a BOLO (Be on the Look Out) warning over the radio...as required by department procedures. Of course, he had to describe this damn rooster over the police radio...ya know...it was complete hilarity.

We laughed about that for days and days

frickin' Rooster BOLO

Lol

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL LOL. I had a neighbor who had one of his chickens stolen so he put up "LOST CHICKEN" signs with a photo and I always wondered if the photo was of that particular chicken or not.

What kind of lowlife guttersnipe would pilfer someone's beloved chicken?

This was in Lawrence, KS...my original hometown. Ya know...where KU is. Fraternity named their rooster "Jayhawk"

Still makes me laugh thinking about that night

@Selma There was a satanist cult in town, the police said it was probably them. other animals had gone missing too

What is worse, vegans or satanists?

Definitely satanists

I feel bad I haven’t been active lately. How’s everyone been lately and what’s your guys plans for thanksgiving! Also bird.

@Sam Anderson no vegan ever called me privileged cisgender white male

Vegans are much better. Hell I was vegan for a while, I don’t blame people for practicing it, it made me feel pretty light while I did it.

But I do blame people who practice satanism. Literally no excuse.

OMG I just remembered...the Sergeant had the rookie cop draw a "WANTED" poster of the rooster based on witness description. We photocopied that thing and pasted it EVERYWHERE in the department

That sounds like the hwitest police department ever.

ahhhhh man...good times

hazing the rookies

Speaking of feminist garbage, lemme show you some real nonsense from my course taught by a male feminist Jewish professor... Its like these people observe the same world we do and are mad about it. A RetCon of reality.

I wasn't ever a vegan, but I was vegetarian for a year or two and tbh if it wasn't for the all the protein in meat, I'd probably still be a vegetarian.

@Selma Well...it *is* Kansas. Tho to be fair, Lawrence has a large Indian population due to Haskell Indian Junior College there, too.

Yeah, I'm a vegetarian by my values, but meat is just too delicious.

I always fail my values!

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL that's hilarious about the rookie hazing, I love those funny kinds of stories

I was a vegetarian for about 4 months a few years ago. I did it for the animals, but they taste so good. <:sad:366743316475281408>
