then you have to accept that untrained goons who wouldn't pass a background check to work security at a mall should be empowered as judge, jury, and executioner of unarmed people they think are Venezuelan gang members

just unfathomable grift from the highway lobby and the freeway industrial complex. hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to consultants for four years to propose a simply untenable overbuilt freeway expansion, while the state lays off all the snowplowe workers and cuts transit service.
