Because let's face it, great quality furniture just feels out of reach. Or it used to. Until you found home sense. The days of overpaying for good taste are done. Now, you can fill your home with the standout pieces you've coveted, but couldn't afford. And you can finally kick that sad sofa straight to the curb.

Welcome to home sense. The home of no compromise. I think I'm going to hit you in the head with a stick now. It's one more thing. I'm strong and getty. One more thing. Are we going to avoid this? Oh, my gully. Bodycam video from the Columbus, Ohio Police Department. Here is the long story made short. This collection of really sad sack misfits are protesting homeless sweeps by setting up a tent on the city attorney's lawn at his or her home. Don't like that. The homeowner, she calls the cops, the cops show up and are trying to deal with this. Their patience and kindness is astonishing. As is the lamowness of the young activists.

Good God man. The star of this show is the young woman who makes it utterly clear over and over again is the liaison with the group in the style of some of the campus protests, right? Where, you know, they would surround somebody with a camera and shove them away. Or you'd ask them a question and they'd say, I'm not the spokesperson. You have to talk to our spokesperson. I just asked you why you're here. You need to talk to our spokesperson. That's a thing with the neo-Marxist youngsters. Anyway, we'll start with 15. Go from there. We've set the scene. The Columbus PD shows up. Does anybody claiming the ownership of this tent? I'm the police liaison. Okay. So if you want to speak to any of them or anything until then, you can talk to me. Okay. So the protesters are here right now because of the sweep happening on Eastbound Street. Okay. So there are some demands. Okay, that's fine.

So here's the thing. The property owner doesn't want them on their property, okay? Okay. So now there's an officially, there's a trespass notice. I'll talk to you because you say that you're the liaison to them. If you can tell them, they can just move right over to this piece of grass right here. That's public property, okay? But the property owner of this particular address no longer wants them on their property, all right? Go on. For everybody inside the tent, we need you guys to get up. We need you guys to get up. Everything that you're saying right now. We need you guys to start getting up and start packing up your property. Well, I think as their communication, I understand that. But they're not listening to you. So I'm going to talk to them directly. And hope they listen to me to avoid an arrest because we don't want to arrest them. We want them to obey the law and leave this property. Like I said before, I'm the police liaison. So anything that you want to tell them, tell me, and I will tell them. And we have. We've already explained it to you. And they're not listening to you. This is what I'm saying.

So like I said before, if there is anything that you want to tell them, you can talk to me. And I will say to them. So is there anything that you want to tell them right now? They need to leave. They're going to be placed under arrest. You guys have been told that the other officer, they're all standing right next to you. They're all standing right next to you. The tent. You are being told that you must go or else you must go. Are you okay? You are going to be arrested under arrest. Hi. Now I'm going to hit you in the head with a stick. Except the cops don't. They're unbelievably. I'm the official liaison. Yes, you said that.

A number of times. I didn't realize they're standing that close. Can you tell them where everybody, everything worked? Apparently she just turns her head into this. The police say. Yeah, I know I heard it. That's precisely what's happened. Yes. So it's like a Portlandia bit. It is. She always sounds like that female comedian rock girl that is on Portlandia. Right. Right. They said the police are saying that. Yeah, I know. I'm standing right here. I think her slow talking was some sort of neo-Marxist delaying probability. Probably. Everybody was just looking at her like, are you? No offense to anybody. Do you have special needs? I mean, how a little dialed back? When you wrote the bus to school, how long was the bus? Was it on the shorter side? Easy. All right. Let's at least one more, Michael. So here's the deal. This is your last warning. Final warning. You must get up.

You must start vacating the property. Or you're going to be placed under arrest. So like I said before, because I am the police liaison. Okay. Listen to me. I need you to stand over there. This is going to you too. Okay. This is private property. You have to leave. I need you to stand over there for me. Okay. As I said before, any warning that you give them that isn't warning to me. I'm warning you right now. They're not going to listen. They're not listening to you anyway. Like, nothing is going on behind the police liaison. They're not listening to you anyway. They're telling me to warning against. I can go tell them. I've already explained it. And they're not listening to you. So what I need you to do to avoid you being arrested is I need you to go stand over there and get off of private property. Once again, the homeowner here does not want you on their property. Okay. I need you personally to go over there and stand. Or you're going to be placed under arrest. I know. Good shampoo. Hit it with the stick. I know. I've been hit before.

All right. No, no, cut that off. We're not. The poor cops had to listen to that again. We're not. And then the final. I think she really enjoys saying the word liaison. For some reason, she just really enjoys. Maybe it's the most important position she's ever had in her life. I'm going to lead on a liaison now. The final WTF moment in this is in clip 18, Michael hang on. But again, I say this with actual sympathy and a little sadness in my heart. These people are really sad sacks. They're misfit folks who don't fit in. They're desperate to feel like they're living life a purpose. And what they're doing is important. They just come off as sad. But obviously everybody gets arrested. And here's how it went. There's one nugget in here that will make you pull out your hair. Be fair.

You know what? You bring us together for me. It'll be easier, okay? I appreciate your cooperation, the situation. Can you see your arms back a little? I don't want to hurt you with the cuffs. Yep. Bring them away from your body, buddy. Thank you. It's not too tight, right, man? Yeah. Okay. Do you identify a surre, man? I don't know. Or you could say your pronoun. I don't want to insult you. It's okay. Okay. Oh, wow. Yeah. Everybody cut it off, Michael. I ask everybody as they're coughing them, what are your pronouns? Wow. So we don't hurt your feelings. Wow. So I don't know what the legality is. Are you obligated as a cop to deal with the leak? Deal with the liaison, like if they name a liaison. Oh, no, absolutely not. Okay. So they're just being polite. This guy had the patience of a saint. I don't give a shit if you're the liaison on. Hey, dudes, get out of here. Or you're going to get arrested.

Yeah. Get out of my face, you half-wit twat. Yeah, please. You're probably out of... You're probably out of bleep that word, Hanson, please. All you all in the liaison, you wrote in on Git. Compassionate policing is a beautiful thing. It is... I have so much admiration for you, peace officers. I really do. At some point, though, there's probably somebody cross town in this town. That's exactly what I was thinking. Put them in a headlock, chuck them in the car. Let's be done with this S. It's one thing to have that sort of patience, but knowing that somewhere there's someone, either about two or has made a 911 call and there's a car not getting there fast enough because of this shit. Yeah. I mean, if it's a super slow day there and beautiful Columbus, okay. All right. It's a problem. We've got... There are examples of bad actors that come into this country and use our freedom and laws against us in all kinds of different ways.

Yeah. This sort of thing is similar. It's just... You're taking advantage of our efforts to not trample on anybody's rights, and you know you are. Yeah. True. There is so much of Marxism, neo-Marxists, that leans on our openness, our kindness, are wanting to be good people, and that's the very thing they exploit to introduce a system that has killed more human beings than virtually any other that's ever existed. They exploit our wanting to be nice. I know why you can't, but man, a flashlight in the back of the year. Boy. This is why you're not of Columbus, Ohio cop Jack. Many reasons. You failed a psychological test. Again. And particularly. Yes, and particularly. And particularly. Well, I guess that's it. Well, that was great.
