Turn the bulldozers to clear out piles of human feces in Los Angeles and get the same outrage. Cleaning up turds (and blood and needles) is now rassisss.

That’s almost as bad as people standing outside abortion clinics and praying, plastic straws or police in minority neighborhoods where they don’t belong!

City: Ok, we’ll swap poles and remove flammable vegetation
Citizens: *shocked Pikachu face*
