Homeless and transient persons are to be instructed on avoiding the tragic consequences of resisting arrest by the LAPD, by beating themselves senseless with their own fists first.
“It’s a swift and simple procedure that any transient or homeless person, even those with severe mental illness or the physically frail can follow,”
Said an LAPD spokesman.
“What you’ve got to remember, is that there are only two to four Police officers with guns, batons and training to every one homeless person acting suspiciously and not doing as they’re told. It’s a great inconvenience for multiple officers to have to beat the shit out of, shoot and Taser one uppetty and unarmed vagrant. If we all work together on this, officers can spend less time breaking the arms of tramps for not moving their meagre possessions to another destination, and more time hassling black teenagers that are minding their own business,”
The scheme, the first of its kind in the US, will see teams of police officers head out to the streets, to show the homeless how to respond when approached by an officer. It is expected to cut fatalities in half, as vagrants will be instructed to brutally punch themselves in the face three times and lie face down on the floor as soon as they see a police officer approach them.
“This is an exciting initiative, which will involve the whole community. If this takes off, we could see a huge drop in police brutality,”
Said the spokesperson.
“By 2016 we could even be getting ethnic minorities to hassle each other, leaving us more time to eat donuts and deal with rich-people crime,”
