    1. This seems so crazy and unprofessional, but then I remember how we’re just shooting people in the streets now, so I guess perspective is key.

    2. Remember when the San Diego PD shot a 16 year old kid dead a year ago for no reason whatsoever?

    3. Tramp at the time meant “homeless” a crime in California until at least the 1970s.

    4. In the 80’s being addressed this way was a compliment to myself and my bff. Rip Vivienne.

    5. April 1944 was a couple months before D-Day. It’s wild to me that there were still police running around booking weedheads and tramps when the country was so entrenched in the most important conflict in all of history. I mean it makes sense you still need a domestic police presence but still it’s hard to wrap my head around.
