Speaking as a foreigner, this shit is so profoundly pathetic, United States. Get your fucking shit together. Not only should you all be well past shitting all over the queer community, but dispatching cops to guard crosswalks in any capacity other than ensuring school kids using them safely after school should embarrass everyone on both sides of the aisle.

Edit: *safely

I didn't like Florida that much when I lived there in the 80s and 90s. It sounds like it's gotten worse.

Good use of tax money. They should also help usher kids to factories while at it.

Last guy, we're gonna keep coming back. 👍

Id ask what's stopping people from standing in the vicinity with a big box of chalk but thats probably a great way to get chalk made illegal.

Hold the cops down and paint them then

In my town, they said the rainbow colors are not the state description of crosswalks, might actually, effectively, erase the legal crosswalk, are confusing to drivers, and would increase pedestrian deaths. There's always some bullshit rationalization for being the worst possible person.

gotta keep those crosswalks from being too gay!

Goddammit, I thought this was going to be an Onion type article. It wasn't.
