I know Lemmy has the ACAB sentinment, and I get it, I don’t trust them either. But real talk tho, there are some scenarios where you might not have other options.
So… the question is: When, if ever, would you call for law enforcement? And if you distrust law enforcement, is there ever a situation where it gets so bad that you just have to risk involving law enforcement?
If it can’t be helped. Like, I wish a lot of shit was settled without law enforcement because things become more complicated once they get involved. And sometimes a lot of money just to get the justice system to do shit. With the off-chance that nothing will be done at all.
I’ve only ever had to call the cops on two occasions and that’s to deal with a noisy tenant, simply because my apartment management are a bunch of lazy assholes who simply refuse to evict people who have broken lease agreements multiple times.
My record with cop encounters has been fairly positive to date, too and I’d rather keep it that way.
