So you're telling me that if we just started grinding cops into a fine powder we'd not only save on their salaries and benefits, we'd also save on the amount of equipment they need and could fund things like libraries and social safety nets? And that we could sell that fine powder for uses such as food for heads, surgery, delousing, cosmetics, bomb disposal, firepower, and head transplants and fund even more things?

I'm not saying we should be grinding cops into a fine powder. I'm saying let's take a look at where we could save more money while helping more people.

Torgo's Police Powder is certainly not a thing we should turn those fucking pigs into. No sir. And if someone tries laying this at my feet I'll deny it.

You’ll have to spend some of those savings on industrial dehydrators though. It can be very difficult to get the texture of the powder right when you start grinding all willy nilly.

This is why you freeze dry them first and use a burr grinder.

The trick is to license private companies to produce the powder. You still get the budget savings, and you get reasonable license fees from the private companies, but you offload the risk of having to invest in the industrial dehydrators.

I know this is a joke, but reading that line of thoughts triggered me.

Lay em out in West Texas and they'll be good as dust in two shakes of a fat lambs tail. Just don't let the coyotes get to em. Or don't. Whatever. I'm not a cop.
