The DeSantis administration currently has at least seven Florida Highway Patrol troopers just on anti-chalk duty: Two watching from a Dunkin Donuts next door and five more parked in the lot right behind them.

This is brilliant. We do more of these low level symbolic acts like painting rainbows, forcing them to commit manpower and resources. Chalking a few sidewalks costs us nothing, but costs them insane amounts of police budget.
aug 30, 2025, 5:22 pm • 61 2 • view
Its even more than just forcing them to waste money and time. Provoking them into absurd overreaction degrades their image and makes even apolitical people notice that they aren't "crimefighting" but doing stupid stuff that no one can support. It uses their strength against them.
aug 30, 2025, 6:46 pm • 52 0 • view
By the way, this isn't a new idea; This is a known tactic used by insurgencies worldwide- You stage a small provocation, and they overreact which alienates the apoliticals; Repeat, and each time the ratchet moves, it adds to the distrust of the regime.

Sidewalk or cross walk. Chalk art on sidewalk is ephemeral and free speech. There are standards for cross walks. Decoration is in the federal standard. So.. In clear response to this foolishness file a complaint, any and ALL cross walks that need repair and or do not meet standards.

Clearly there are few if any pedestrians in Florida. The visual contrast of cross walks N. Monroe St are substandard when compared with the cross walk that woke tRump up. I now wish to learn the stopping test standards met by the black paint used. And if the white bars are correctly located.

Talk is cheap. This is probably the only part of me that wishes I lived in Florida. A cop car fits, comfortably, 2 officers and 3 detainees. 3-5 cop cars is 15 detainees and 10 officers. It would take 30 people to make them useless? 50-100 to make calling for backup useless?

30 years ago, I lived in a small town. Bank robbers called in a robbery at Walmart, which was a 15 minute drive from the center of town. ALL of the town's cops went there. Then the bank robbers robbed the town's downtown bank and got away with it. Cops are just as predictable today.
