Yep… A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words.

By Davy V.

And since a picture is worth a thousand words, I will keep this short…

On a recent night, in Rochester, NY, RPD officer Eliud Rodriguez, who is also a professional photographer, decided there were better things to do than patrol the streets.

So he called 8 of his fellow RPD brothers and told to him to meet him on a building rooftop in downtown Rochester to take pictures.

On tax payers time.

In 2010, Rochester, NY Police officer Eliud Rodriguez’s base salary was $69,100.12.

Rodriguez made an additional $39, 614.00 in overtime, and $2, 510.00 in compensatory pay.

In total, Rodriguez made $111,224.16

Must be nice to snap photos of your fellow officers ‘Kung Fu Fighting’, on duty, on a building roof-top, while the taxpayers pay you in overtime alone, more than many people make in a year.

I have called the City of Rochester Mayor Thomas Richards to see what he has to say about this.

 

Update: I spoke with Rochester, NY Police Spokesperson Sgt. Justin Collins, who informed me that all of the officers in the photo were on lunch break.

Sgt. Collins also added that the photo is from 2009.

 

Note: Rochester, NY Police officer Eliud Rodriguez is one of 7 RPD officers who executed

Israel “Izzy” Andino, a mentally-ill young man this past June.

    where is the picture(s)

  2. G. Asher says:

    Why, oh why would anybody complain about this? If ALL cops spent ALL day fucking off and playing I would be happier than a pig in shit, or Common Sense with a blue cock in his mouth.

    The less time they spend on the street is less time they have to commit criminal acts and assault and kidnap innocent people.

    Don’t complain about this, encourage it!

  3. certain says:

    LOL Every single one of those guys look like the kids I always saw getting beat up by the jocks back in school. No wonder it takes 16 of them to take a guy down.

  4. Dan says:

    I believe that they were on their union/contractual half-hour lunch break.

  5. 2minutes says:

    Does anyone else look at this picture and see the movie ’21 Jump Street’?

  6. Common Sense says:

    ..oh the humanity…

  7. Chris Mallory says:

    G.Asher is correct, if more cops spent time doing this we would all be safer.

  8. t. says:

    Caught’em red handed. Unit / team building. The shame of it all. Another piece of crackerjack reporting by Davy V. You would think with so many articles….he’d get at least something right. So far, he is defying the odds.

  9. 2minutes says:

    That picture is a photo of unit/team building? Huh. That explains a lot.

    Is this typically how its done?

  10. T says:

    @2: Yep. That’s what it looks like sometimes. Blowing off a little steam by acting silly with your coworkers. Happens in just about every work place nationwide everyday. You my not know about it as they don’t invite you.

    So, yes the what it looks like. And yep, pretty typical for everyone but you.

  11. Jim says:

    “Happens in just about every work place nationwide everyday”

    The hell it does.

  12. T says:

    The hell it don’t. Ain’t no different then you and your buddies screwing around on the shipping dock. Or inthe parking lot. Or at the water cooler. Or at lunch.

    You people are being retarded.

  13. John Q Public says:

    We also did that when I was in the Army. Some coblockers are wound to tight to understand.

  14. John Q Public says:

    Oh yeah, 3 years after the fact too. SMH

    @t
    On this one I’m calling bullshit. This is a clear example of goofing off on the job. Now, that may happen from time to time on the job, but not every day as a matter of course. Personally, I could care less about something like this, I don’t see it a big deal, but don’t try passing it off as a valuable team building exercise or some other such pop-psychology crap. It is what it looks like, and we can all see what it looks like. Calling it a team building exercise is just an attempt to pass it off as respectable.

    So much for the higher standard…

  16. 2minutes says:

    @t
    By the way they don’t invite me because 1} they don’t engage in such pointless antics; we have actual work to do and manage to get it done without needing the constant support of our coworkers; and 2) I don’t need it, as I don’t require the validation of my peers to be secure in myself and my abilities. I didn’t realize cops were so emotionally labile and required so much upkeep. My bad.

    I did think, though, that you guys engaged in team building, and quite often, just not like this. I knew that, for example, the cops in Fullerton California engaged in a team building exercise called ‘lets beat Kelly Thomas to death’, which they did successfully. Or that, for example, the cops in Milwaukee engaged in a team building exercise called ‘lets ram our hand up this guys ass’ that went so well. How about the NYPD mass arrest of protestors (in 2004) team building exercise. That went well too, didn’t it. There are so many team building exercises you guys engage in, with such spectacular results, that I have to wonder why there was a need to meet on a rooftop to photograph yet more. Was it because there was something different about this one? In reviewing the photo, I can spot one major difference: there is no victim this time. Is this a change of pace for the police?

    Wow. A group of guys doing a tough job in a tough city goof around for a minute to blow off some steam and YOU lose your mind. Wow. You really must this k your superman.

    @T

    “Wow. A group of guys doing a tough job in a tough city goof around for a minute to blow off some steam and YOU lose your mind. Wow. You really must this k your superman.”

    You aren’t going to bring out the tired statement of how hard a cop’s job is, are you? Because news flash, a lot of jobs are harder, more dangerous, and more unpleasant.

    I don’t object to cops blowing off steam, but what about the areas they are supposed to be patrolling? They had important jobs they were supposed to be doing. Who knows what may have happened because they weren’t doing that.
    On the other hand, better they let of steam than get frustrated and take it out on innocent people.

  19. t. says:

    Welll, if you don’t think making live and death decisions on a nearly weekly basis, weighing therights of people on an hourly / minute by minute basis, trying to deal with lost kids, dog bites, drunk drivers, larcenies, break ins, domestic strife and assaults, directing traffic in the heat and rain, fueding neighbors, drug overdoses, mental commitments, robberies, …then throw in the times of hours of monotonous nothing, administrations that demand you do more with less and then question how you do it, court systems that pamper real criminals, idiots that think they should / can interfer with you while you are doing your jib, “protesters” that have no goal other than destroy other peoples property…and that’s before you add in spouses that worry about your safety and have to work harder making ends meet with far to little and have to raise kids with a mommy or daddy that gone a lot of the time (especially at night).

    That’s just a very short list. Nothing in there about those that are intentionally out there wanting and trying to hurt you.

    I ain’t complaining. I left a high paid job at a fortune 500 top 10 company to take the job that I have. Its very important work that needs to be, and overwhelmingly is done by people who understand that importance.

    I could take you very quickly to places the you would wet yourself and refuse to get out of the car. Those folks are YOUR friends. The drug users and thieves. The robberers. The ones who hurt people. WE deal with it EVERY DAY. If you think the guys who deal with that taking a few minutes to goof around and let of steam is bad, your a fool.

    And if you want to be a pompous ass idiot like 2minutes who is so self important that he can’t even take a crap during his work day as he is apparently the glue that holds his whole company together…go ahead. No one will respect you either.

  20. 2minutes says:

    @t
    I never said that I am “the glue that holds his whole company together”, simply that I can do my job without the need for, or the use of, pop-psychology inspired so-called team-building exercises. Been doing it for years. Nice reading comprehension you got going on there. Is that how you cops write your reports? no wonder they seem to be so full of inaccuracies so often…

    And on the subject of self-importance, I offer, well, pretty much your entire post. Its so self-congratulating, I thought at first that you were going for parody. Let me paraphrase: ‘Ohh, we do so much with so little, making significant, even life and death, decisions moment by moment – except for those long hours of monotony where we do nothing, of course – and we go to places no man would dare to go – really, you would be sooo scared! – and we do it every day! Its so hard! BUT, only WE really understand how important it is!
    Pompous indeed.

    here’s the thing: cops make all these claims about danger, yet the profession doesn’t even appear on the list of top 10 most dangerous jobs. I’m not saying that there isn’t danger at times, but cops tend to exaggerate it to such a degree that it becomes desensitizing. At the same time, cops tend to downplay even serious injuries that they cause to the public, especially when the individual injured turns out to be innocent of any wrongdoing. I guess we just don’t understand the importance of abusing innocents. Good thing the cops do.

    Why is it that a cop will always use the “our job is so tough” excuse to justify their actions? Everyone’s job is tough. Everyone.
    This line “administrations that demand you do more with less and then question how you do it” applies to every job in this country right now, it’s not exclusively tied to law enforcement. Stop trying to elicit sympathy with this one, it doesn’t work.

    Lets do a comparison: if, for example, a medical professional makes a mistake, and a patient dies as a result, that professional is held responsible (I use the medical profession as it is the closest corollary to law enforcement, seeing as how errors in both fields can cause serious complications to someone’s life, up to and including death) and can/will be be charged in the event of a death.
    This has happened, a pharmacist went to prison for mixing a wrong chemo that killed a child. It was a mistake, and he paid dearly for it. Now lets look at the police: if a cop makes a mistake, even one that results in a death, the cop gets qualified immunity; i.e. they do not get held responsible. Because all they have to do is say they thought they were doing the right thing, and that they didn’t know the law. Just that they thought they knew it. Now, the pharmacist also thought he was doing the right thing, but he gets held responsible. A cop doesn’t. So, in most professions, you are expected to know and obey the law (ignorance of the law is no excuse, unless you are a cop) as well as know your how to do your job, but in the cops case, not so much. A cop gets to assault, abuse,
    terrorize, and kill others, then use the excuse that “I thought it was o.k.” And that apparently makes it o.k. Everyone else has to abide by the law, exactly, but the cop gets to make it up instead of actually learning it, and if he gets it wrong, oh,well. In the meantime, innocent people suffer as a result. And watch just how on your side the cops are then. Must be nice to have a job where the rules are so malleable.

    Respect me, or not, I don’t really care. It doesn’t change me one bit. You sound like Eric Cartman with your overweening focus on respect. Cop think, I suppose. But then, I guess it makes sense that you would emulate a TV character; after all, cops have been emulating Steve Martin for years – his “I forgot armed robbery was illegal” – the precursor to qualified immunity.

    P.S. ” The ones who hurt people. WE deal with it EVERY DAY.” News flash: you are it every day, just look at the news. Cops are so zealous, and so self-righteous, that they are willing to harm innocent people in the holy quest for law enforcement. Rafael Perez
    had it right – “He who chases monsters must see that he not become a monster himself” – something that modern law enforcement has forgotten.

  21. t. says:

    Ah. “paraphrase”. Your excuse to just lie apparently as I said nothing of the sort. As for the dangerousness of the my job. You and the other dingbats haven’t figured it out yet…so let me ‘explain it to you. The training and tactics that officers utilize have kept officers and civilians alike from injury. Using numerical superiority is an easy example. The retarded think and frequent cop blocker idea of officers being scared because they don’t fight people one on one. I’m not there to go man on man with you. Its not personal. That thinking, as is the tone of your “paraphrase” is….well retarded thinking.

    As for the medical professional example. Please…PLEASE tell me you are kidding. Medical malpractice…including that which results in death and serious injury…is rampant. You don’t hear about as malpractice insurance pays it off. Dude, that has to be the worst comparison ever. Really. Doctors a tions and in-actions leave people dead and seriously injured all the time. Officers that are involved in premeditated actions are frequently jailed. I would even bet, although I certainly haven’t done the numbers, that more officers that are charged with some thing like that, when compared side. Y side, are most certainly convicted at a much higher percentage. You are confusing what you WANT to be true, or THINK should be true, with what really happened. OIS’s are almost always (I can’t speak for every jurisdiction) investigated by multiple agencies, and the evidence presented to a grand jury. The reason why officers aren’t prosecuted like you think they should be…is that after all the review, that which you find as unsavory, and which may actually be unsavory, isn’t necessarily wrong or illegal. SCOTUS has ruled, over and over, concerning the standards. While in the cool light of morning, other facts may come to light, and the officers may have had other options, if what they did was legal…it was.

    So stay pompous. Its OK. But don’t project that on me. I’m just trying to explain it to you. You want to go ape shit over some guys goofing around taking a picture. BTW, most of those medical professionals do the same kinds of things. They realize the value to themselves and their employees of relieving the stress.

    @T
    “Welll, if you don’t think making live and death decisions on a nearly weekly basis, weighing therights of people on an hourly / minute by minute basis,”
    A cop killed an 18yo kid a few weeks back, no reason, just panic. A cop shot a woman in her own yard because she surprised him. Cops regularly shoot someone for ‘reaching into their pants’ only to find no gun. Time and again these things happen. I’m not impressed by a cop’s ability to make a life and death decision regarding my life.
    A cop’s life and decision making can be summed up. “If I feel threatened at all, kill and then verify the threat. If wrong, oops. At least I’m safe.”
    As for weighing the rights of people, cops have a very poor attitude toward those rights, looking for ways left and right to ignore them. Cops only see our rights as an impediment to their jobs.

    “directing traffic in the heat and rain”
    A lot of jobs force people to work in weather. I do it all the time. And how about electrical linemen? How would you like their bad weather work?

    “administrations that demand you do more with less and then question how you do it”
    Of course the public expects cost effective operations. There is only so much money to spend. Government is full of waste. And the rest of us deal with that.
    As for questioning how you do it, we all face that. And you’re making decisions that can affect my life. Sorry, but I for one am not simply giving you a blank check for that.

    “and that’s before you add in spouses that worry about your safety and have to work harder making ends meet with far to little and have to raise kids with a mommy or daddy that gone a lot of the time (especially at night).”
    Cop compensation is through the roof compared to most people’s income, including high end professionals. It is not uncommon to hear of an officer taking six figures home, plus government bennies and retirement. My heart bleed if that isn’t enough.
    As for not at home, there are a number of jobs, especially military, where daddy may be gone for more than a year, with crappy compensation. And far higher odds than you of not coming back.

    Sorry, your job can be tough. But you aren’t alone in that boat.

    And my only statement was that while the officers were goofing off, they weren’t where they were supposed to be. I’ve had that conversation a few times with my people at work. I don’t mind them goofing off in and of itself. I joke regularly with people at work and make Barney Fief jokes with all of them. But leaving a patrol route uncovered isn’t usually acceptable.

  23. 2minutes says:

    Ahh, t, you clearly don’t understand a paraphrase. You see, it is the taking of what was said and rewording it, just like I did in my paraphrase of your earlier post. And, yes, you did state almost exactly what I paraphrased. Go back and read what you wrote on Oct 12 2012 7:10am – then read my paraphrase – they say essentially the same thing. Its o.k. if you can’t, or won’t, grasp that fact, but then again, perhaps you should avoid trying to explain things to people while dealing with a comprehension problem of this magnitude.

    You also seem to be reading things I did not write, such as asking police to go one on one to prove their macho, or some such vagueness. Where did I state that? I didn’t. Nice bit of sophistry there.

    On the medical comparison I made – no I’m not kidding, but once again you seem to miss the point. medicine is an art, as well as a science, hence the term ‘the PRACTICE of medicine’. A physician’s license actually says that they are licensed to practice, a doctor’s office is called a practice. Get it? The reason for this is that no two patients will react the same to the same treatment, drugs, etc. It’s different every time. With all those variables, its inevitable that sometimes things go wrong. I will grant you that the same is most likely true for the police, each call is different. However, when the physician prescribes a treatment, be it a drug or whatever, the outcome is based on what most people experience, and will not necessarily be what that particular patient will experience. When a cop shoots a suspect (center mass to stop, right?) its much more predictable what the result is going to be. Hell, the result in the cops case is what is desired; in the physician’s, not. The cop intends harm, perhaps with cause, perhaps not, and that harm is fairly predictable. The physician does not, but sometimes it happens; it’s far more unpredictable. When this harm is caused by the medical professional, a lawsuit ensues. Medical malpractice. When it’s a cop, what? Nothing, because they have qualified immunity. Without that blanket of protection, the police would quickly outpace the medical profession in lawsuits. So your comparison, based on lawsuits, is unfair, since the police have quite the edge in avoiding lawsuits.

    Now, let’s examine your statement that “Officers that are involved in premeditated actions are frequently jailed”. Perhaps, but only when the action is premeditated? In my earlier example of the pharmacist (jailed for mixing the wrong chemotherapy), the actions of the pharmacist were not premeditated; hell, there was no intent to do harm whatsoever. He still went to prison. For a mistake. Yet you claim that cops face the same penalties, while still maintaining that they only get jailed for premeditated actions? Can you see the double-standard here? Cops get qualified immunity for their mistakes, the general public does not. Level that field and then compare lawsuits, I bet suits against cops will eclipse the malpractice suits pretty quickly.

    I am not “projecting” pompous on you, you are doing a fine job of claiming the title all by yourself. Again, I didn’t go “ape shit”
    over the picture – I posted this about it “Personally, I could care less about something like this” – but I did have an issue with your characterization of it as a team-building exercise. Because its bullshit, and typical cop sophistry. Renaming something as something else to give it legitimacy is such a cliche’. Remember, “a rose by any other name” is still a rose, no matter what you call it.

  24. t. says:

    Dude you have lost your mind. If an officer does something ILLEGAL, mens rea, they don’t, and can’t, get qualified immu city. It doesn’t qualify…don’t ya get it? As for your paraphrase. Yeah, I know what it means. But in this case, that which YOU are attributing to ME, has been changed so dramatically, that it is essentially a new statement and your saying that you are quoteing me is a flat out lie. You read it again. Didn’t go ape shit? Go back and read what you wrote. “Nothing like this happens everyday, it never happens anywhere” and “I’m far to busy to engage in this”. Oh, that’s all just paraphrasing you of course, not direct quotes.

    I’m sorry, if you, like George Sands tends to do in every article she writes, pick bad analogies. Very clearly your attempted comparison of police work with medicine failed. It was a good try and the premise was even right. But you really missed the malpractice part.

    But its all OK guy. You don’t like the police and you will believe anything and everything you are told to believe. Davy V. has succeeded in leading you down the primrose path (so to speak) and you bought his snake oil, hook line and sinker. There’s no story here as there isn’t with any of his journalistic endeavors.

  25. Gary Sellars says:

    I’m appalled you’re such idiots.

    There is so much police brutality and abuse of power by criminal cops that needs to be dealt with, and you’re DILUTING YOUR INFLUENCE with crap like this.

    How can you be so stupid as to not see this WEAKENS your position against the really significant and weighty problems with criminal police behavior?

    People NATURALLY want to believe in and support authority. The truth must be weighty and significant for conservatives to be willing to “turn traitor” and “be against” “lawful delegated authority.” You’re stupid if you don’t understand that and you’re hurting your own cause!

    When conservatives see write-ups like this, they DISMISS YOU! This kind of crap causes them to think, “You’re just a bunch of cop-haters; rebels, ne’er-do-wells with no respect for authority who think anarchy is better.”

    Get a clue; get a grip, and stick with stories that shock and enrage people because of the injustice and the criminality of BAD COPS.

    Get a brain!

  26. 2minutes says:

    @t
    Dude, you are the one losing their mind. I can, and did, point out where you wrote the things I paraphrased, but I can see nowhere where I wrote anything that can be misconstrued as “Nothing like this happens everyday, it never happens anywhere” and “I’m far to busy to engage in this”. I wrote only that it doesn’t happen every day as a matter of course.

    Here, try this:

    Me: “making significant, even life and death, decisions moment by moment”

    you: ,”making live and death decisions on a nearly weekly basis, weighing therights of people on an hourly / minute by minute basis,”

    me: “except for those long hours of monotony where we do nothing, of course’

    you: “then throw in the times of hours of monotonous nothing”

    me: ” and we go to places no man would dare to go – really, you would be sooo scared!”

    you: “I could take you very quickly to places the you would wet yourself and refuse to get out of the car”

    me: “only WE really understand how important it is! ”

    you: ” Its very important work that needs to be, and overwhelmingly is done by people who understand that importance”

    See, that’s how you paraphrase. get it?

    On the medical comparison: it’s you that still doesn’t get it. A cop can only be held responsible via mens rea, or intent. And that’s the problem. Again, the pharmacist was held responsible for a mistake, no intent involved, just plain old human error. Yet he still went to prison. That cop? As you say, without intent, no penalty. Even if he kills someone. just like the pharmacist did. In error. Without
    intent. It’s a double standard, affording protection to a certain class of people, those people being law enforcement. And it’s wrong.
    My analogy stands.

  27. t. says:

    Well, if you don’t see the significant differences…then you don’t see them. And, I will offer up as proof of my point about where you missing with the point you think you are making…the website Cop Block. A brief review of this site shows officers being held accountable let all
    the time. Your perceived ideas of extra right could not be further from the truth and are shownto be inaccurate by this very site. Police give up many of the rights that they defend for others. The things that you do, we can’t. The truth is that it is very far from the double standard you think exists.

  28. 2minutes says:

    I do see the differences; I think I have mentioned the individuals that I know that are law enforcement; I have been with them on more than one occasion when they get stopped for speeding, for example, and they never get the ticket. Never. Because they have a badge. Fine, its officer discretion. And officers discreetly look the other way for other officers, but not the general public. Perhaps once in a while, but not anywhere near the frequency they do for one another. Hell, look at the state trooper that pulled over the Miami cop not long ago. Then look at police one. It was as if she had committed sacrilege, which, to cops, is probably close to the truth. The cops posting there were outraged that she would ticket a cop. Talked all about violating the trust and brotherhood, etc. It was if it was an expectation, nay, a demand, that officers be allowed to break traffic laws with impunity. How dare she violate the code? But that couldn’t be, since there is no code. Huh.

    Hey, what about that Philly cop that punched an innocent woman in the face? he was fired for it, of course, and? Nothing else. They are actually throwing him a party. Now, a non-officer that did that exact same thing would definitely get more than just fired, they would be charged. It was a battery, pure and simple. Caught on video. And his fellow boys in blue are throwing him a party, with the caption “come on out and support one of our own”. Nice. No support for his victim I see. just for her Assailant.
    How do you propose to uphold the law when you guys can’t even keep straight who was in the right and who was in the wrong in these instances?

    Oh, hey, how about that assault on the “mutt” in Harlem? The one carried out by two police officers? And yes, it was an assault, which is the verbal component, generally speaking, and potentially a battery as well, as they clearly manhandled him without cause. Or is it o.k. for anyone to grab someone, twist their arm behind their back while threatening to break it, and threaten to punch them in the face without cause. just because they’re a “mutt”? What do you think will happen to them? Very little I’d venture. After all, he was a “mutt”, whatever that means (possibly something similar to saying “Jew” back in Nazi Germany?

    There are so many more, but I’m sure they are all anomalies, on-offs the likes of which have never been seen before and never will be seen again. Yes, Copblock does have examples of police being held accountable, but the level of accountability is very low. Time and again we see cops getting away with murder, sometimes literally. And if they do get caught, frequently their punishment is so slight, it doesn’t even qualify as a slap on the wrist. And wait a bit, and that officer will be reinstated, usually with back pay, or will just go to work for another agency doing the same old things he did before. Because he can. because his punishment was obviously not enough to deter him.

    One more thing: police give up their rights? Please. How the hell did you write that? I’m laughing so hard right now. Really. Reality check: police do not give up any rights. What things can I do that you can’t? And don’t give me crap about being on the job and not being able to have freedom of speech or some such; that applies to all of us while on the job. Its called decorum. Or professionalism.
    Or even common sense. There are things all of us give up to work a job; that’s why its a job. Wanna know one that most of us face that cops don’t? If we do something seriously wrong, like, say, cause burns on the torso of a 12 year old (yea, another wrong home invasion – surprise!) on the job, we get fired. No administrative leave, or defending the actions taken, just fired. And odds are, we’re not getting our job back. Period. But cops, well never say never. Because assaulting innocent people, burning children, and general law-breaking is just par for the course, and nothing we should be concerned about. After all, its just “mutts” that are being threatened with bodily harm, and the kids might have been related to their parents, who might have been drug dealers (even though no evidence of that was found); so they theoretically could have deserved what they got because of their genetics. besides, the cops might get a paid vacation out of it, or even a (shudder) reprimand. The horrors.

    As I showed you with some simple, basic math… you are just so amazingly wrong about all officer who get stopped get off, and e eryone else who gets stopped get tickets. The premise it very wrong, and makes you appear very uneducated. Just repeating it over and over isn’t going to make it any more true.

    But as for the rights. If you really know officers, ask them. Research in the city or town where you live. Especially look at the sheriffs office. Look at there SOP’s. We can’t engage in political speech. Its spefically banned. Its funny that YOU immediately went to the one enumerated right, the one screamed about on this site constantly, and stated don’t give you free speech as an excuse.

    But its so far beyond that. Anything that I do that is deemed as bring a bad light to my department…fired (or most frequnetly, allowed to resign). If my neighbor calls and says that I drink too much…my department can, and will ( I know as I’ve been given the assignment) investigate it. Possible / probable suspision. Maybe more / worse. Not every department has those standards, but far more do than you know and more are moving that way. The same thinking goes into other areas. Finances. I fall behind on a damn credit card and I’m facing suspension. Just any damn thing gets guys in trouble, suspended or fired. Just because you don’t hear about it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

    You are thinking you know things that you simply don’t know. Just thinking that the photo depicted here is somehow outlandish, unheard of behavior shows it. The fact that you don’t think it happens everyday in workplaces around the world, reinforces it.

    You continue to buy the crap you are being sold.
