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.

When I was a child, police were much more respectful of others, they were much more helpful to others. Changing tires, helping someone who ran out of gas get gas. If I got caught doing something the officer would tell my father instead of writing a ticket or worse. Riding my dirtbike on the road was my downfall. The police of today have been reduced to revenue generators for the municipality they work for. We bought into the "Protect and Serve" BS with Joe Friday and Andy and Barney in Mayberry. That isn't the way it is now.

@Roadsterrider Yeah it's not really about protecting and serving.
