I appreciate that a police tower may be necessary in some cases, seeing the picture is a lot. I mean how do you insure that you are just intimidating criminals and not the public more broadly, especially in communities of color? That said the article says that the towers go to sports stadiums, so I have presumably seen them in the wild and not noticed them.

OK, you’re still out there, but why, man?

We all know it’s just lie, lie, lie, man.

It might sound appealing,

But you can’t go self dealing!

Here’s hoping the court says “goodbye, man.”
