Right? My wife works in the library across the street and I see it all the time. I want to take a photo of it, but I’m actually worried about what they would do if I did.
Incidentally, it’s parallel with this statue, which is slightly less intimidating due to the cop’s posture but still creepy.
No. The name of the town is Terre Haute. It is the first of many very stupid things about this town… because it means “high ground” and we’re in a valley. It’s technically higher ground than the river next to it, but that’s basically true of all rivers everywhere because of, you know, erosion.
Come to think of it, it might be the least stupid and terrible thing about Terre Haute, along with “it no longer deserves its reputation for smelling terrible because the paper mill is no longer here.”
Don’t get me wrong, there are some good things here, but the bad things far outweigh them. It’s generally considered one of the worst cities in Indiana and it deserves that reputation. And just being in Indiana is pretty awful since we’re sometimes nicknamed “the middle finger of the South.” Which is 100% accurate.
Communism works fine in the real world, on a small scale. Communes exist, and most people that have lived in communes have loved them. OTOH, it seems to break down once people don’t have a first degree connection to the other people in the society.
This city has a serious drug problem and some high crime areas and there is no way they are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts.
And this is in front of the police station. It was the only photo of it I could find. The carving the dog is blocking says, “fairness.”
That is genuinely creepy.

Man, dogs are our best friend and cops turned some against us. They ruined dogs. Everything cops touch turns to suck.
Please tell me Fairness is the name of the town…

Ok, and most cops are bastards.
There’s a reason I put the last sentence on the comment. lol
It’s like communism, sounds great on paper but doesn’t stand up to the real world
