    I’d like to remind fellow Californians or those outside of our state, last election we held a state wide Prop on if the state should keep using prison labor for things like forest fires and other government tasks like this.

    California overwhelmingly voted to keep it in place. I mean, I didn’t.

    So the firefighters who are understaffed, underpaid, catching new medical issues are all prisoners who might have some something as simple as be homeless next to a cop’s patrol to guarantee funding for next quarter.

    This is America. Arresting the minorities and poor, sending them to clean up the messes the government refuses to clean, and then funding the cops to make more arrests.

    Send them cop tanks in. Surely they’ll make sure the fire stops resisting.

    Solution: send the cops in to fight the fires. All they’re good for is defending capital, so let’s see what they’ve got.

    California can’t even commit to stopping the mismanagement of fire prevention. You expect them to commit funding?
