This would be very useful to me personally. After a brief examination, it
has become clear to me that I am full of an enormous amount of crap, and
with more non-park cops I stand a better chance of having it beat out of
me.
With more non-park police we can blow away more useless people with
medical problems.
With more non-park cops we can better defend the rich against First
Amendment protestors (just what country do they think they live in
anyway? And what makes them think they have any rights?)
With more non-park police we can CODEFOR clear away useless poor people
and unAmerican small businesses so developers can make a bundle serving
rich people and big businesses.
With more non-park cops we can crack a lot more heads with hard-swung
batons, butter up a lot more eyes with pepper spray, swear at and threaten
lower class people and protestors with guns.
With more non-park cops we can hear a lot more Craak!! and Smack!! and
Owwww!! and Down on your knees you little piece of #####!!!
All of this would make GREAT television!
