Most would welcome the presence of (1), never mind several police “folks” if a gunman (person) came into that site and started indiscriminately shooting. Where would these “objectors” run ?? Outside to find a policeman – of course !!
I can understand why a certain class of people would feel uneasy about the presence of police officers. No doubt these worthies are more than slightly acquainted with the insides of law enforcement facilities and one sympathizes with their increases anxiety given their hobbies and nocturnal activities. Let us embrace such individuals and protect them from the anxiety that comes with these activities. Remember these individuals only seek a private restroom to indulge in some recreational pharmaceutical use and to negotiate future business deals involving the disposal of private property during vacation absences.
Defend their rights. You have nothing to fear from such icons of freedom and liberty. It is racist to allow the men of law enforcement to engage in the civil rights that their betters enjoy. Remember you are blesed having these boosters of the pharmaceutical industry sitting next to you, behind you at night, following you home at night. The police tend to stifle such self expression and freedoms.
Who wants that besides the running dogs of Wall Street and white enjoyers of unearned privilege?
