Torso's really good but it's central conceit regarding the killer has been discredited.

Trash Cab: You drive around NYC.

Nash Cab, where middle-aged women have to sit next to Don Johnson and get $1 for every second they don't spontaneously orgasm.

A pirate with a steering wheel in his pants walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Sir, I hate to pry, but you appear to have a steering wheel in your pants." The pirate says, "Arrrr, it's drivin' me nuts."

Not to mention Find the Saltine, Toe or Finger and Gravel.

I'm not sure why guitar music is the rightful heir of Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Fats Domino.

I once knew a man with a wooden leg named Smith. They arrested his other leg.

Well, yeah, when Black teenagers waiting at a bus stop are getting handcuffed for looking at cops the wrong way, we FUCKING HAVE BEEN. When the feds need to intervene in the policing of major metro areas over excessive force WE FUCKING HAVE BEEN. When kids are shot mere moments after the police roll up, WE FUCKING…

It's clear you don't give a shit.

Because the purpose wasn't to stick a charge. The person was to harass a person they didn't and take them off the street and intimidate them into not doing things they didn't like, without getting sued for false arrest. Vague and anachronistic laws are ripe for probable caus. THIS IS STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR…

What the actual fuck are you talking about? "Taking people off the street because you don't like their behavior but you have no evidence they are in any way dangerous so you use a bullshit pretext" is using their discretion wisely?

If we were going to criminalize being an asshole in facepaint, we'd have impeachment proceedings by now.

There's not clearly a law about face coverings, there's clearly a law about masks, hood and devices. He violated neither the letter nor the spirit of either open carry nor face coverings. This is policing otherness, nothing more.

"a pretext to get him off the streets and in the pipes for a psychological examination"
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS AND THAT IS NOT RIGHT. You don't go around arresting people doing nothing wrong whose behavior you don't like because you think they're crazy. Police are not mental health professionals. That way lies…

"But you have to take into account the Aurora movie theater swording massacre."

If he was doing something dangerous or threatening, why wouldn't they arrest him for that? You don't have to make up a pretext when someone is committing an actual fucking crime.

All jokes aside, we all agree that some powertripping cops used a bullshit excuse to arrest some dude they thought was being a weirdo, right? That this is pretty obviously an abuse of power and emblematic of the disconnect between police departments and the communities they ostensibly serve?
