Bard spotting on Bluesky 15 November 2024

Kevin M. Kruse (@kevinmkruse.bsky.social):

A lot of people asking this question and the answer is simply that the rules and laws don't enforce themselves and the people responsible for enforcing them would just prefer not to.

I'm so confused… why then is he allowed to not follow any rules or laws?

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Why are people allowed to drag race down your residential street? Because the people responsible for enforcing the laws are mumping donuts and coffee. Same principle but in 72 point script

When they're not busy with pastries, they're harassing the homeless and running red lights for funsies.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

In a Buddhist, "Thankful for the lesson" way, I am thankful to the police for making me 100% aware that White Privilege Is Real & I Benefit From It.

I and an African-American colleague were targeted by a SWAT attempt. We didn't know it until we left the building, got in our cars, & started home —

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

The police had been waiting in a parking lot for us to leave, & the description they'd been given was consonant with my description, not my colleague.

They passed me, shining the spot in my driver's window, seeing my tired face, waved me on & went on to stop my colleague.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

We compared notes the next day.

They clearly waved me on & decided to harass her using the SWATting attempt as a pretext.
