Articles you wish were untrue...

I was really hoping this was an Onion article but unfortunately it seems to be true...

Has world peace been declared and therefore this is the worst thing that happened that day? Or is this just the police blowing all of their money, man power and resources on being dumb?
The sun beyond the mountain glows
The yellow river seaward flows
You can enjoy a grander sight
By climbing to a greater height

I have run out of places to climb. I will abandon this body and take to the air. We will leave twin vapor trails in the air, white lines etched into these rocks. I am the aerial. In my passing, I will send news to each and every star.

It's more than the police. It's the school administrators and the governments.

After all, the police are tasked with enforcing the laws. While there are situations that police probably should just say "Fuck the Law" to, making that call is tough, and used wrongly can land them in trouble.

So while the police are partly to blame, they get put in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.

The same can't be said for those creating the regulations in the first place. And they also tend to be the ones calling the police out to enforce the stupidity.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
