Nypd has dump trucks?
Yeah they kinda look like this: 
Occasionally they catch on fire:
Damn. Burn.
edit: lmao even funnier that you edited in a burning one just as I commented
they also look like this:
edit: Oh look. here's some more dumptrucks.
Those look more like manure spreaders.
I wonder what it would cost to pay a guy with a manure spreader to drive out to the mar a lago golf course and spread some on the links?
Allegedly for the counter terrorism unit. Found this:
I wonder why the NYPD owns a dump truck
I don't know why, but I never thought to question that until this very moment.
probably to do exactly what they did. specifically, to barricade streets from people also diving dumptrucks and whatever other heavy vehicle they might get. Chances are it was requested by the secret service detail.
It's either that or an MRAP, and MRAPS don't exactly convince people they're the Kinder and Friendly New York Police™️
Probably just a city truck that the police were using to block the street.
Probably for this exact purpose. It’s much less intimidating than the military vehicles.
My city uses them as snowplows
Does your city police department plow the roads?
Yes. The police. That famously liberal group of bleeding heart lefties.
Remember kids: All Cops Are Bastards. ACAB.
They did a great job on this one, lol.
He looks kinda like the MADtv kid.
Trump should incite a riot, that’d really show everyone!
Hey, I've seen that one before!
Trump wondered why the police had not paraded down the streets, knocked on people's doors menacingly and told them to report to the Trump victory center for vote verification. After all, he had bought all those leather boots.
It kind of feels like he's banking on the police being supporters of his and is attempting to get them to lighten their security around the building. That would allow his protesters to pull another January 6th at the courthouse.
Are they not? I don't know how attacking the courthouse would help the outcome. I guess whatever it takes for another delay.
'Alternative Facts', should be really easy to disprove, no?
Basically why anyone has been voting Republican since the 90s when Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh took the platform from "mostly bullshit with some outdated ideology mixed in" to "99.9% bullshit by volume".
.1% is giving them a lot of credit.
I was rounding up because determining how many 9 decimals is appropriate for accuracy would require too much research and abstract statistics 😉
Leaning on the 9 key is my go to
Unless you have millions of sycophantic fans living in a media bubble...
Does he mean the ones in prison...?
Just more blathering from the anti-cop soft-on-crime hard right.
I like the guy with the "Trump is a rime boss" banner xD
By ‘thousands’ he means, like, a dozen.
Wait, I thought he was pro police/law and order?
