Then I can finally use this anecdoteâŚ
For one of my semi-improvised shows, I made the mistake of wearing boxers and it was noted by a couple audience members who then shared their awareness with me. Well, while I was known for the extreme amount of innuendo I could work into my performances, in this situation amusingly enough, I didnât immediately understand whatever euphemism they used. But, the rule of improv is âYes, andâŚâ so I just went with it and riffed with them a bit before I suddenly realized, âHey, wait a minute. The topic of discussion is my penis.â

Silly dick jokes are a step up from news of modern-day Nazis. Sure we need to know that stuff, but letâs at least keep it classy with a few dick jokes, eh?

We demonize the man on the corner
Paint him as a thug
We worship murder so much
Itâs just that he ainât killed enough
You wanna commit murder
But not end up in cuffs?
You gotta make it to the Premier League
A thousand murders plus

This mentality is very common in the police community right now. The Blue Lives Matter site is absolutely terrifying. Every single day it presents cops with a feed of every officer that has died in the line of duty in the whole country - all with much fanfare about their service and heroism. All the stories are true and all of them are reported in a neutral fashion, so it doesnât come across as biased. Itâs all in the curation of the material.
Being a cop is a scary job. They really do put their lives on the line. Suicide rates are very high. A lot of cops become adrenaline junkies because being hopped up all the time makes them feel in control.
That this ladyâs class qualifies for âmental health hoursâ gives you a sense of how little real help police have in coping with the trauma they take on. The mental health that cops get is all a CYA for the management, who do not want suicides to land back in their laps. âWe had her evaluated 3 weeks ago and the psychiatric evaluation said she was all good,â is the name of the game. Police officers know that if they do not pass psych evals that they will lose their identities jobs and pensions.
This narrative that they are the real victim, bolstered by the true stories of people who made the âultimate sacrificeâ feeds into this cycle of trauma, fear,and belief that they are not supported.

And, no doubt, contributes to the cycle of unwarranted police violence.
(I am willing to concede that sometimes they have to use force. I am not willing to concede there should be near this many âmistakesâ.)

Innuendo and out the other, a master class in the disruptive bullshit needed when racing to the bottom:

It ABSOLUTELY does. Do you remember the teenager wearing a bikini who was at a pool party that got a little rowdy, and then cop took a roll on the ground and tackled her and was basically sitting on her back?
That officer had JUST come from a suicide. Iâm not sure if the person actually committed suicide or if they talked the person down, but he was, by department policy, supposed to have been sent home. But you know, suck it up, real men donât cry, no big deal bro. Until itâs a little girl getting hurt because his nerves are on a tripwire.

I doubt it; I think itâs more âtake him seriously but not literallyâ garbage.
