        If I need help I’m sure as hell not calling the cops. The cops are only useful if the situation would be improved by a crazed gunman suddenly showing up and shooting anything that moves.

        There are situations, granted, where that’s an improvement. But not many.

        I hesitate to call the cops even for traditionally appropriate situations when someone like you who probably loves ICE too would love to call them.

        I don’t understand the cult around U.S. cops because its luck of the draw if you get an asshat abuser like my SO’s previous step father or a cop that can actually de-escalate a situation, vs cops doing some semblance of something correct overseas.

        But keep sucking people off that are drawn to abuse of power.
