It appears that Paramount or CBS is going to remake a classic Marx Brothers film, 1933's Duck Soup. That photo to the right is from a Top Secret audition tape — so sensitive that I had to be invited to a Signal group chat to see it — with an additional ad lib† from the film's dialog: "Who are ya gonna believe, me or your own eyes? Or bystanders' cell-phone videos?" The DOJ hasn't yet selected its candidate(s) for the film from among a number of (over)qualified candidates. Rumors that a special set is being constructed at Mar a Lago to replicate downtown Minneapolis, but with more sunshine, are just that.
Not long after that classic film was released, an equally pithy saying appeared on the desk in the Oval Office: "The buck stops here." Most members of the current Administration fully agree with that statement, or at least think they do. Unfortunately, because they focused their lives from 15 to 25 on getting ready for that job they were entitled to — or at least making their resumés look like they were ready — they neglected to apply some simple grammar, even before the obviously-unproductive literary memes of "metaphor" and "imagery." The phrase is not "The bucks stop here": It's not about filling one's accounts (Caymen-based or otherwise) with all the money, or cryptocurrency for that matter, that passes anywhere near. But mistakes were made, and these government officials see no reason to accept responsibility for anything. That might be embarassing. Or career-progression impairing. Or even a necessary consequence of their oaths of office — but that would require reading them (let alone the source of the title of this screed), so…
Otherwise, there are no even marginally adequate words. There's certainly no adequate justification for even arming these "officers" as they engage not with fleeing armed felons but with bystanders attempting to render aid to other bystanders (whether or not "protesters"). Not with firearms; not even with tasers, given that they always considerably outnumber the five-year-olds that they're "detaining".
I suppose I should answer the question posed by the title here: The voters. At every opportunity henceforth.
† I fully realize that applying "lib" to anything related to this… individual is both insulting to her and completely inaccurate. Don't blame me, blame a couple millennia of English stealing from other languages and modifying the loot so it can't be easily recognized on the fence's pawn shop's shelf.
