I swear too many of my fellow white people have like no experience with the police

because if you did you would know 9/10 they don't solve problems so much as aggravate them and make them even worse.

I MIGHT call if there was an armed man trying to break into my house and hurt me or there were some MINOR issue like a Schizophrenic running lose in our neighborhood but other than that I don't generally believe in calling.

This unfortunately is true!
No fault of the police - just the constraints they have to work within.

@OogieBoogie Yeah I used to blame the police themselves but as a Political Junkie now I realize it's the Fucking Pols who are at fault. Drugs might sometimes harm people but the WAR on drugs DESTROYED lives that didn't have to be.

@BetweenKittensandRiots my experience is more personal - but I found out, like you said - they jist aggravate the situation.
My life had been a misery - after going to the police for help - it became HELL!
It's all a game one has to know how to play 🤷‍♀️

@BetweenKittensandRiots The war on drugs has been turned into a asset seizure free for all. They don't give 2 bits for stopping drugs, they want to be able to seize the stacks of cash they find and valuable property. Billions are seized annually, where does that all go? New toys for the police department involved.
