Or CHOP. Or whatever they’ve renamed it this morning. Found in the rubble of the chamber of Mazarbul Downtown Seattle Political / Community Center and Free Speech Area, under a mound of discarded bongs and rubber dog masks.

FIRST WEEK

In a firm bold hand with little peace symbols over the ‘i’s.

We drove out the Police from the Great Gate and guardroom and took the Police Station. We threw rocks at many in the bright sun in the East Pine Street. Jeremy was taken out by a rubber bullet.

Scene XX – Victory in Charlotte

[Setting] The Alexa II black helicopter. Relentless highway patrolman Keanu Reeves, President Donald Trump, benevolent oligarch Jeff Bezos, and the laid-off trucker-who-learned-to-code super-hacker Dane Taggart discuss their plan to save free shipping for all Americans.

Officer: “This is 1-Adam-12. I’ve spotted the Death Truck and am in pursuit.”

Dispatch: “Roger that, 1-Adam-12. Exercise extreme caution. They say it’s already killed a cop.”
