LAW WOULD REQUIRE STU-
DENTS DRESSED AS FURRIES
TO BE REMOVED BY ANIMAL
CONTROL
Oklahoma City, OK. – Dressing
up like animal characters has
become quite the rage these days
in public schools and Law Officer
has heard from more than a few
teachers that kids are not only
dressing like cats but carrying
stuffed animals throughout the
day. We say kids lightly because
we are talking about highs
school kids. You know, the future
leaders of our country.
Anyway, we refused to believe
that fur and whiskers was an
actual thing until we saw a new
bill proposed in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma Representative
Justin Humphrey has an idea to
end the distracting behavior. He
has filed House Bill 3084, which
would ban furries from Oklahoma
schools.
If a kid comes to school or a
school event dressed like a furry,
then their parents will be contacted
to take them home and if
the parents or guardians cannot
be reached, it gets very weird.
“Students who purport to be
an imaginary animal or animal
species, or who engage in anthropomorphic
behavior commonly
referred to as furries at
school shall not be allowed to
participate in school curriculum
or activities. The parent or
guardian of a student in violation
of this section shall pick the
student up from the school, or
animal control services shall be
contacted to remove the student.”
From a law enforcement perspective,
we are grateful. Animal
calls are the worst but the only
thing more troubling would be a
self identifying animal call.
Kudos to Representative Humphrey
for filing a bill just as silly
as the act itself.

ARRESTED MIGRANTS RE-
LEASED WITHOUT BAIL AFTER
MOB ASSAULT ON NYPD OFFI-
CERS
A group of eight migrants
accused of pummeling a pair of
officers in a caught-on-camera
Midtown attack are “cowards”
who “should be sitting on Rikers
Island,” a top NYPD official says.
One of the suspects took a defiant
posture, flashing two middle
fingers after being arraigned
in court on Wednesday, the New
York Daily News reports.
All five young men taken into
custody so far for the Saturday
night brawl outside a migrant
shelter on W. 42nd St. near Seventh
Ave. were released without
bail — inflaming the already
heated debate surrounding the
city’s migrant crisis.
“You saw the video. Reprehensible,”
NYPD Chief of Patrol
