Pa. fuel tax meant for bridge repair went to state police instead

quote [ Pennsylvania has almost 3,000 bridges classified as structurally deficient, though state Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said Thursday that tally has actually been halved since 2008.

Over six years, $4.2 billion that could have helped fix those bridges has instead gone to State Police, he said. ]

Confused? More bridge collapses!

Also, in case you missed the definitely not authoritarian police funeral march last week.

You answered your own question. For profit. Cops double dipping on public salaries and private in-uniform security gigs. Cops confiscating personal property through civil asset forfeiture. Cops intertwined with nationalist militias, blurring the lines between state-sponsored racism and terrorism. Cops drawing in military-grade weapons and gear. Cops are the nation's largest criminal organization, and it's all above board and legal, and it's all for profit.
