Gainesville Anti-Zombie Anti-Crime Campaign is Outrageous
Unsatisfied with tying Zombies to every social ill rhetorically, some woefully ignorant individuals are stooping to forging the link between Undeath and various unpleasant things themselves:
Gainesville Police Department Lt. Art Adkins can deliver this line with a straight face: “We’ve had an uptick in recent zombie activity.”
…
Until this month, police were using a “Lock it or lose it campaign” to encourage people to keep their cars locked. But Adkins said the campaign was not having a big effect, pointing out that half of the cars in some apartment complexes were still left unlocked.
So Mazlaghani, Adkins and others put together a new campaign, this one featuring the undead.
“The idea is to use popular culture — zombies — to reach students,” Adkins said. “It’s a little bit of humor, but we are taking these property crimes seriously.”
With University of Florida students portraying zombies who rip off students and other unwitting victims, police have created posters, social media spots and even a video the agency will soon be posting to YouTube.
Posters? Social media? Video? Obtaining *actors* to put on greenface and pretend to be Zombies?
I… I’m stunned. This is a police department, not some director with a digital camera and an axe to grind! They’re supposed to be civil servants, you know, ‘Protect and Serve’, not demagogues out there putting a big target on the backs of the peaceful and law-abiding Zombie Community.
Completely unacceptable behavior, and another sad chapter in the long and ugly history of police abuses against oppressed minority communities, I’m afraid.
Tragic.
You can see their Anti-Zombie propaganda below. Remember folks, this was produced using taxpayer resources and money. Taxes that, no doubt, ZOMBIES helped pay.
