It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷♂️

Scary chalk! 😂
Start chalking other crosswalks across the city. They can’t patrol them all. They can keep running around & washing them off.
Rainbows are way scarier than guns, right?
priorities
What ever happened to glitter-bombs (not actual explosives). We need to make those a In again.
Omg, right?!?!? 😃
Time for random rainbow crosswalks across the city!
Everyone needs to make necklaces holding chalk!
How very Florida.
I have recently purchased a subversive weapon - a box of chalk. There are some sidewalks that need to be more colorful around hereabouts.
So if I’m caught driving with a box of chalk in my car, is that illegal? Is it DWC or DUC? Only in FL? So many questions 😛
Chalk. A weapon of mass education.
Heehee 😆👏🏻👏🏻
Because they have nothing better to do? They have their priorities I guess.
Rooftop snipers. That's what we need there.
last week for the race they painted all the crosswalks in front of the track with a checkered flag design these paint overs are strictly about hate #fuckdesantis
Rainbow Chalk all of the potholes in Florida! Call it a Labor Day of love. Two birds with one stone.
All this wasted tax payer money in the name of fascism.
🤬
Many just enjoy the pageantry of running around in tactical gear with big guns, most of the rest just do the job as a power trip.
A perfect example of Republican "law and order." Ignore genuine crime. Prosecute "crimes" they invent out of thin air.
Yes, but I think in your comparison you’re apparently failing to consider that cops are enormous cowards.
Please keep at it.
Priorities.
They don't mind people, even children, being killed but by god you don't buck the Fascist system that ensures more will be killed.
Priorities.
What's your point?
👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼
What do you expect? It’s Florida.
So kids playing hopscotch on the sidewalk are now subject to arrest in Florida?
And Texas
Just go chalk a different one. They can’t be everywhere. CHALK ALL THE CROSSWALKS!
Just like the beloved leader, a few cops, maybe more, suffer from the “Dunning-Kruger” syndrome.
That crosswalk will be painted in gorgeous colors again ... goodness will overcome evil.
Immortal Truth, politics rules the police, and in some cases more then ever. And in the cases with street art believe they really enjoy it. As a musician I much prefer all things creative, other then cruelty and evil.
Possession of criminal tools!😮
That’s cuz they are cowards
What can you say? After Uvalde and Pulse, all you can say is America's cops are cowards and bullies. They beat hell out of anyone who can't fight back- but let a shooter with a will come on the scene and they're hiding.
… a timeline doesn’t apply cops. They have always been cowards and bullies. They are typically your C average high school student, maybe played football or basketball. Has a macho mentality because now people have to follow his orders and pay attention to the average kid.
One of the reasons I no longer work at the sheriffs office in my county. Uvalde was the last straw for me. It hit too close to home and too many of the deputies were trying to take the side of those officers at Uvalde. What good is “protect and serve” if you’re too scared to do either?
As a former combat soldier, I understand that the career isn't for everyone- even though it pays okay and the benefits were good- if you can't, you can't! Cops need to make that same self determination- too many of them should not be there because of their inability to serve DESPITE felt fear.
That would require them to admit to themselves and other people that, in this context (in their own eyes), they are weak.
Well, yes It takes being absolutely honest with yourself The problem is that the soldier understands he will be shot at at some point. For the cop- realistically, not so much So, they can skate, if they are unwilling to tell themselves the truth Then a "Uvalde" happens- they fail and people die.
Oh, I agree. I don't think cops should be or think of themselves as soldiers (that kinda makes the rest of the pop the enemy), but yeah - they literally signed up for that risk, and justify their unaccountability using that risk, when they're safer than delivery drivers.
Agree They are the worst of us- they are the excuse makers and after the fact storytellers. I've maintained since 9/11 that exactly that type of person was sought after- we saw the lowering of entry requirements across the nation. But I think it is older than that.
The Pay actually got worse. I started with a salary of $25k after taxes in 2020, briefly got a pay raise to $30k in 2022, then it was closer to $22k when I left in 2023. I make more as a shift manager at Sonic. people like me and I don’t have to worry about hurting innocent people all the time.
Average LAPD cop with two years on the job earns $300k/year with overtime. Maybe you should move to a blue state?
The hell is going on in LA that a cop needs nearly twice as much as some doctors? Anyways, I have no interest in being in any other law enforcement. Blue state or otherwise.
What’s happening? Our craven legislators can’t say NO to police union blackmail. They’ve also cost the city $600M in the last Wi months for violence settlements.
Doctors generally don't get shot at... so there's that...
Last I looked, it is cops doing the shooting.
This echoes a thought I’ve been having a lot, lately: The pervasive cowardice in the American population. Every MAGA I’ve encountered is a fragile white person afraid of cities and minorities. And therefore armed to the teeth, too. They angrily refuse vaccinations but exhibit very high anxiety.
You aren't alone. The cowardice goes hand in hand with a willingness to be fake. Everything is AWESOME and we are all TOUGH GUYS and BAD BITCHES- Except we aren't. I moved to N. Germany and the people here are a bit dour. But when they say a thing, it is the truth and they damn sure aren't cowards
It’s not even just MAGA. A lot of people are just too anxious to take risks politically. Even if it’s factually not a risk. I don’t know exactly how we got this way; but it needs to stop. People are afraid of consequences that don’t exist. Consequences that will exist if they don’t say “no” now.
To be candid about it though, the media all of them, have fostered a fear based society- all while promoting an atmosphere wherein we're all Wolverine or Reacher- if you ask us. But we aren't when push comes to shove. We are not what our ancestors were.
It’s more like belittlement to mask fear. Done with carelessness. News Media treating human rights like politics. Content creators labeling human rights as “Politics” or “Drama”. Fear of confrontation, not of any legitimate retribution; and that attitude has unfortunately become ‘normal’.
Oh, you're right. Make light of real challenges whilst pushing made up baloney to get people afraid of what you want them to be afraid of. Easier to hate what you fear.
I think also a lot of the waiting had to do with the color of the children.
Cops got the Supreme Court to rule they don’t have any duty to protect yet still try to tout that tired line
We should repaint every inch of space available in the area rainbow and just leave that one crosswalk alone as a FU to DeSantis.
Here in Mpls, the police ran in without hesitation after arriving 4 min after the 911 call--4 minutes!! & all victims were in or on way to hospital in 30. The police chief said that's how they are trained & expected to react. My first thought was about the Uvalde and Pulse nightclub victims...
Flori-duh.
That's why, ACAB...
Fascism at its finest. Deinsane-tis sucks.
Great observation. So sad that it is so true.
DeSantis sicko
How many died in that three hours who could have been saved 😞
The weakness and fragility of #FDOT is equal to the Governor himself.
They have destroyed and replaced that crosswalk several times and now those who support replacing it again get arrested. This is absolutely something worth sending people to jail . We wouldn't want to remember those who died there.
Try getting help for Domestic violence in America. The only way to get them to show up is drugs. Here, it's growing weed. If they think they can bust a grower, they send in swat.
It’s all about priorities, Roger. In Trumplandia chalk on the road outweighs gay nightclub shootings every time.
That’s just fucked up
The law enforcement priorities in Florida are truly fucked up! I bet you could walk into any bank with an Uzi because between crosswalk mania, and ICE immigration, no one is actually policing anything else.
The goofy bobble headed governor still thinks he has a shot at being president some day 🤣
Florida, get organized! go.bsky.app/6ib8MaR
Priorities. 😬
Sounds to me like we just need a bigger group of people.
Fascists attack symbols in an attempt to project control. Rainbow up!
Totally DESPICABLE
They were afraid of guns 🤷♀️
That sounds like a challenge...lets see we'll need masks and fake ICE vests, spray paint(fuck chalk at this point) and a group of Cross dressed men with glitter bombs for a good distraction... #CommandoArt #ArtHard #SemperFidelis
The stripes on pavement are usually a plastic tape that gets melted on, not a paint. Just saying.
Cowards
That's because way too many cops are chickenshit bullies.
There is, it just didn't chart. (AMA firefighter. There isn't widespread hatred of firefighters, but there are certainly a few people who do.)
Trump deported some firefighters the other day. WTF
Believe me, American firefighters are aware of this.
No one is safe in America...
Valid
I'll be happy when this era of hate is over!
It is now illegal to color on pubic areas with chalk in Texas.
Instead of banning assault weapons
To be honest I'd rather colour pubic areas with the normal hair paint than chalk. Too messy.
And folks wonder why I won’t step foot in that foetid cesspool of a swampy state….
Every crosswalk in Florida should have a 🌈..
Clearly, the problem is they don’t have enough “EXECUTE COP KILLERS” and Punisher stickers plastered on their off duty trucks and cell phone cases. 💪
I’m pretty sure the government was a lot quicker getting public workers to remove the rainbow crosswalk in Florida. 🤦♀️
Then we won. They have to defend their hate daily. In front of the world. Let everyone see what intolerance and hate looks like. To destroy a shrine placed in love for those sacrificed to senseless hate.
Not to mention the COWARDS of Uvalde Tx.
What I'm sensing is a long pattern of the most performative cops also being the most chickenshit.
If you need landscaping done, the National Guard will be there pronto.
It would be cool if businesses and people in that area started repainting their…. Private driveways and private parking lots with rainbows 🌈 Just an idea
Ya know, holographic rainbow glitter in UV resin (cures in sunlight!) can't be removed without a chisel. Follow me for more pro hobby and crafting tips!
I was thinking the same thing. And as a Floridian with several artist friends, I may have found a calling to organize.
Ty!!!
Maybe a forward thinking HOA could demand that all residents have rainbow sidewalks, but offer to supply paint and labor to make it happen.
Oh Geez! I hope people don’t color rainbows onto LITERALLY EVERY SURFACE! They’d have to call in the national guard for rainbow control.
Yup
Unfuckinbelievable
Time for about a thousand people to get arrested. You have to overwhelm the jails.
Cops are cowards.
Our crazed NRA-enthusiast country insists “it’s NOT the guns, it’s people with mental illness.” Police aren’t afraid of a mentally ill person. Unless that mentally ill person has a gun and is in the process of shooting people with it.
As a member of the 2A fandom, mental health is my argument for universal healthcare
It took them cowards hours to go into Uvalde Elementary School while the little children and teachers were being slaughtered like cattle as the shooter methodically went class to class.
Civil disobedience in my Florida neighborhood. BTW, don't YOU do this because IT WOULD BE WRONG!
I fucking hate these people.
Florida has been a "Failed State" since Al Gore lost that state in 2000. It and the other "Failed States of Ameria" - all the failed Red States - have only themselves to blame for their tragedies and lawlessness.
DeSantis deserves my very special and carefully reserved for those deserving it
Same energy that saw multiple cops restraining the parents trying to get into the Uvalde school instead of going after the shooter themselves: There’s more thrill to exercise their power against easy targets than actually do the hard work of policing.
Cops don’t like entering buildings when there is someone with a gun: Pulse, Parkland, Uvalde. But drop down sone rainbow chalk and the are all over it.
This is so true. As a former FL resident, I can attest!
Some guy in DC wrote with chalk on a lamppost at Union Station, and every police force known to man showed up and arrested him. Gestapo tactics!
