Forget about Capps, there's a whole generation of kids listening to polka getting influenced by this stuff. And the cycle repeats.

The infamous 1890's East Coast / West Coast Polka beef was never quite squashed.

So the actor who plays his dad put out a CD of bawdy Christmas music under the name Rudy Casoni. The whole album is like horny holiday Sinatra.

In 1998 I was working as a Manager in hotel convention center. There was a annual Polka convention, that was the longest weekend of my life. All my staff were annoyed by the music and the cheap ass guest. I had never had to bribe staff to stay till that weekend.
0/10 would not reccomend.

Thanks. Polka is so outside the mainstream, including it in the title would actually have been better clickbait.

Click bait titles are so low effort but work so well. It's one of the reasons I prefer reddit to news sites.
I feel guilty everything I see a news link saying "Marvel Stars Painful Message Before Suicide" with a picture of Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman. I knownits just gonna be some background actor that no one has ever heard of that played a background character with maybe one line. Bonus points for the times when it happened months or years ago

Didn't save much. People still want to watch the video. Especially when it seems the cop straight up murdered the guy with his hands down (from what I saw frame by frame there was no way he was a threat).

VyrPlan t1_j3alknr wrote
so the wife and adult step-daughter go to the cops saying he threatened them with a gun, and when he fell asleep they escaped - so police show to to his place first thing raring to get him
i don't know what this man did/didn't do - but i do know the video makes it look like that first cop opened up on the dude before the other officer could even tell him to get his hands up
maybe i'm wrong, but it sure appears like the guy barely gets to his front door (full glass) when they start blasting through it
internet_chump t1_j3ay3gn wrote
Dude got straight up murdered. They gave him less than a second to comply. It's like the cop wasn't actually giving an order he wanted the guy to follow, he was just saying the magic words that allowed him to kill without consequences. That's not how it's supposed to work.
riptide81 t1_j3buv3w wrote
This one sounds like an actual barricaded individual. Didn’t we just learn that protocol is to secure the area and call in a trained negotiator to make contact?
No, let’s just go in on someone we already know is alone and likely having some kind of mental breakdown and is armed.

Oh no, now parents are going to say polka music makes people violent, then all the rebellious kids will flock to it, create new musical subgenres by infusing it with an array of modern subgenres, which will eventually be swept up into pop culture, which corporations will take note, then push modern polka hip pop, or pip pop, or whatever, further into pop culture, till it's infused into many facets of our lives.
I don't know if I'm ready for the polka musical revolution.
