You are the biggest imbecile I’ve ever known. Sanitation workers are better than cops? You are an idiot. You probably just say that because you roll around in trash.

If I rolled around in trash, I don’t think I’d be terribly grateful to sanitation workers for taking my trash away, now would I?

Sanitation workers save countless lives, die in the line of duty much more frequently than cops, and have never to my knowledge been used to terrorize and oppress poor people and people of color.

Do you know how many people would die of typhus, cholera, and other horrible and preventable diseases without sanitation workers?  Without sanitation workers we could easily have a resurgence of the bubonic plague because rats would run rampant through our trash filled hell scape cities.  We’d have mass infestation of disease carrying fleas brought in by the rats.

We would have epidemics of disease of nigh apocalyptic proportions.  Do you know what the world was like pre-sanitation worker?  The streets were filled with shit, corpses, food waste, rotting offal of all kinds.

Do you not realize how MIRACULOUS how clean and trash free modern American cities are?

I have complained to the police on multiple occasions, and they did nothing, nothing to catch the burglar who stole all the plumbing from my basement for scrap copper, nothing to catch the flasher who accosted me on a walk (instead they spent 15 minutes laughing and not believing me) and nothing until I identified the culprit (I’d seen his pickup truck) when a large amount of farming equipment was stolen from my parents barn.  However they’re perfectly happy to pour a homeless veteran’s PTSD meds down a storm drain and beat the shit out of him.

I have never seen one do a lick of useful work in all my days.

Fuck cops.
