The following article was left in outline before I headed for the Far West to dwell among the still half-savage barbarians of Outer Dindustan, where these Arуan apostates have not yet utterly embraced materialism and have yet to shroud themselves in the sacral vestments of holy white guilt that is the foundation for true Dindustani Piety.

Bah, these barbarians have infected me with the myth of self-sufficiency, so today, after decompressing in Harm County, I plunged once again into the bowels of this once and future clingdom, the realm of magic where plastic tarot cards spit money at the true believer, if only he should seek salvation...

In a small forgotten town in Montana, I witnessed the sheriff out and about talking to folk.

In Yellow Stone National Park I saw a park ranger.

At the Custer battlefield I saw two armed park rangers.

In Southern Wyoming, on route #80, I saw a Wyoming State cop manning a speed trap.

In 12 days in Cody, Shoshoni and Rock Springs Wyoming, Cooke City and Red Lodge Montana, the Crow Agency, Summit County Utah, and all the roads and many small towns in between, I saw not a single law enforcement officer other than those named above, and none of which had the type of intrusive umbrella mission of intimidation and arrest-seeking as those cops form the BPD.

Since my return to Inner Dindustan, I have seen not a single police cruiser at night [when most violent street crime occurs], but during the day, have spotted three in Harm County and five in Harm City [and those five in one hour]. This reflects the fact that cops do not patrol at night in Harm City. They strike out on drug raids and they respond to emergency calls. There are no nighttime patrols. Any military veteran must understand the significance of giving up the night.

As I turned down White Avenue, I saw that the cops were herding Dindu junior high School students, who average six foot and 180 for the males and five-six and 230 for the females—most prone to violence, weaned on hate and raised on defiance.

What patrolling Baltimore City Police do is dedicated to suppressing the mob violence of 13-14-year-olds.

What patrolling the Baltimore County Police do is dedicated to collecting traffic tickets.

The remainder of uniformed police presence is dedicated to Drug War raid support and emergency response to 911. Forget them showing up the same day for a 311 call.

The 25th largest urban population in Greater Dindustan is patrolled by the 8th largest police force, and that force has surrendered most all of the turf and time they contest with criminals, including the night.

It shall be interesting to see how this devolves or evolves. Are we at the base of the police state trajectory or are we at its nadir?
