God, cops are obsessed with posing with anything they seize in bulk. Are the posing officers the ones involved? Who the fuck knows?!
But, let’s take everything at face value.
$1000$1700 “worth” of toilet paper… taken off the streets. Y’know, for safety. Like with drugs. This major bust apparently required 9 police officers, and, for some reason, a K9.Let’s be generous and assume that this department assigns 2
pigsbastardscops to a cruiser, and let’s be considerate and assume that it took them only an hour to perform this sting and collect their Bounty. Let’s also assume that they managed to only burn 1 gallon of gasoline per vehicle. Finally, I think that it’s safe to assume that it took about two hours to get back to the station, decompress, tickle each other’s assholes over what a good police job they did, fill out their passive language paperwork, stack the TP, take this picture posting like they just got Osama Bin Laden, and then make a couple of racist jokes.According to ZipRecruiter, the average Plainfield, IL hourly wage is around $30/hr. According to Gas Buddy, gas prices are around $5/gallon. So, to protect their streets from, probably, $400 worth of toilet paper, it likely cost the city $925, plus whatever the hourly cost is to make sure a police dog doesn’t get desensitized to black people.
But thank goodness Plainfield PD was there to prove that you can also use assholes to clean up toilet paper. Fucking ass-wipes.
I like you!
When I first saw the picture I thought this was a satirical article about a “bust”, and I laughed.
Then I saw it was an actual “bust” and now I don’t know if this is serious or a failed attempt at a joke.
Here’s what it looks like when fun is allowed lol
Okay that does look like it would take a bunch of effort to clean up. You could wait until the next rains thoroughly soak the paper and it might rip down on its own, but it might also be blown around everywhere. Better to take it down before it rains and dispose of it with less mess. I’m guessing the original pranksters would be made to do that?
No it’s a college tradition in Auburn University, they roll the whole lawn after a game win.
The trick is that they use the cheapest ultra thin toilet paper that’s easy enough to actually launch and unroll itself, which also makes it easier to clean up.
afaik they hire some private contractor to clean after every game. They don’t need a lot of people but they do use lifts and stuff to reach the branches.
What I would give for a good hijink…
This reminds me of the Uvalde SWAT team photo where those pussy cops were playing pretend soldiers.
Reminds me of the “Uvalde grip”
Is there a magazine in that one? Trigger discipline at least looks good.
It’s barrel discipline. Put your thumb in the barrel so it can’t fire.
I hope the high schoolers don’t keep trying to do this kind of thing. They might fall afoul of the three wipes law!
Cops are like a box of chocolates, they’ll kill your dog.
Damn that some dark ass humor. 10/10
This is my mind of humor. No notes.
Funbusters Inc strikes again.
Thank goodness those monsters were stopped, right??
Should take revenge on them by breaking into the station and stealing all their toilet seats. The police will then drop the investigation, as they’ve got nothing to go on.
Good job, boys. You foiled the nefarious plans of those high schoolers. Really earning that salary.
ICE out here executing random citizens, but hey, at least they caught those pesky highschool toiler paper hooligans…
It’s Plainfield… What the fuck else are they going to do with their time?
They’re posing with the shit paper as if it were a pile of cocaine 🤣 I hope America the beautiful was blaring while this photoshoot went on.
According to police, the estimated street value was $1,708.66.
Once again, they’re inflating their numbers by extrapolating the street price for a single use against what’s clearly a distributor quantity. They’re probably also adding the weight of the pallets into the net total.
You have to factor in the amount it takes to pay smurfs to buy for you! (Limit: 3 per customer and all)
Yo man, you got any of that toilet paper? I some cheeseburgers right here, come one man, I’ll even suck your …
You don’t even have to hit distributor quantity for that price to be obviously a complete load. I can get 16 mega rolls of angel soft brand for 10 bucks at my local Safeway right now. 62.5 cents per roll. And if you’re buying it to TP someone’s house, you’re probably getting an even cheaper brand.
They’re claiming each roll has a street value of ~$2.63. Basically 5 times that amount.
But aside from the money, the cops are presenting this as preventing all sorts of property damage which…fuck right off with that. TPing isn’t damaging shit. You pull it down from the trees, you put in a garbage bag, you go on with your day. Nah, they just wanted to deny these kids the fun of an amazing TP war. Teens are always gonna push boundaries and find fun in rebellious activities, and I feel like TPing is one of the least destructive things they could be doing, frankly.
Its also biodegradable and breaks down relatively quickly, and doesnt cause property damage (like eggs can).
If you are going to cause havoc, this is probably the best way to do it.
Yeah TP over eggs and flaming bags of dog shit any day.
I didn’t know toilet paper had street value but now that I do, how do I best become the kingpin in 3fold?
That’s what street value means
But like… What’s the street value of toilet paper? There isn’t one unless you make it up?
partially made of cocaine.
Did anyone make sure they didn’t touch the children?
Or plant drugs
