Having your van stolen is weird as a #PIC #abolitionist. But it definitely reinforced my belief that we need to build a world without cops.
Spoke to a half dozen of them about this and ALL of them acted like I was a suspect for something. None of their license plate surveillance tech helped them find a van that was being used in the area for 7 weeks. That tech’s not for our benefit.
I’m gonna finish this fiasco by finally reading The Warehouse.

The new poulets (young chickens, also French word for chicken and French slang for cops, 😃) are getting used to their new humans.
Two of them are very social, they carefully approach to get a better look.
The resident older chickens are still largely ignoring the newcomers. Very different from a few years ago, when they simply tried to kill the new ones.
