The police are supposed to protect and serve. But what’s the point of protecting and serving the public if you’re not protecting and serving Gaia?
It’s good to stop crime, but there won’t be any crime at all if everybody gets killed by the weather.
That’s why I’m glad to see police departments switching to electric cars.
Unlike those dirty gas-burning cars, electric ones are powered by… magic, I think? Goodbye, boys in blue. Hello, guys in green!
There’s just one problem with electric cars, though: You need to remember to plug them in first. KPIX in San Francisco:
A Tesla electric patrol car by the Fremont Police ran low on electricity in the middle of a pursuit, after the department said someone forgot to plug the vehicle into a charger…
“Just slowed down to six miles of battery on the Tesla, so I may lose it here in a sec,” the officer said, according to police radio transmissions. “If someone else is able, can they maneuver into the number one spot?”
Other units took over the pursuit. Police said the chase was called off when it became unsafe, and the suspect vehicle was later found abandoned in San Jose.
The bad guy bolted. He must’ve been pretty wired. Currently, no one has been charged. What a shock. But I’m sure the cops will keep plugging away.
There must be a way to stop this from happening again. The solution is inevitable: We must ban the internal combustion engine. Make everybody walk, or ride horses or bicycles, or whatever.
Let’s send our whole civilization back a century. Or even further. Wouldn’t we all be better off living in caves?*
Or maybe you want that Swedish schoolgirl to keep yelling at you…
*You can keep your phone, of course — duh! — but only if you charge it with solar or a hand crank. There’s no need to regress to savagery.

They should sue Tesla for selling them a lemon like that Looks like all this Go Green is a total waste
Solar panels on your clothing would charge a mobile phone, 5AH, so roughly 20Wh, eventually at 100W/m^2. But they can’t support any serious power application, like transport, heating, or power the transmitters that generate the phone signals, or the manufacturing economy we depend upon for the services we enjoy. They can do the useless peripheral stuff millenials believe is how a technological society works.
I’ve been driving high mileage cars for close to 38 years now. Brought up on V8s.
It surprises me when I get into a car and forget to check the fuel gauge for sometime. Then notice the Wife or driver of one of my Vans or cars forgot to fill up!
To think this COMMON mistake is enough for some folk to believe that EVs don’t have a place on our roads.
I’ve covered over 203,000km in my Tesla X, best car I’ve ever run commercially.
Well as long as the ice defroster works as you push it .
So these cars sit in the garage and what happens when their electric battery needs replacing ?
Flavor of the month PC mobile till they quit exploding like Pinto’s and have batteries that get the cops further than the nearest Burger King .
