I bet you are the first one to call your "bastards" when something is going on.

Well if you want an attack dog you don’t call the sweet fluffy ones

I've called for an ambulance, to report a crashed car, to report a flipped semi, and to report a reckless driver.
I've never called for the cops.

There are other emergency services than the police.

Cops responding to all calls is a failure of the system—they are a catch-all.

Depends on how people live and where.

I have literally never ever needed a cop for anything.

My few interactions with them in life, at different ages and in wildly different places and situations, have been needlessly intense even though I clearly pose zero threat. And all they did was make my life harder with imposing jurisdiction rather than any level of fucking humanity or understanding.

Their default was to assume I'm a threat even if the situation is something benign like an issue with my car insurance I was unaware of.

Zero care. Zero humanity. Treat you as default like a fucking criminal.

Not even getting into the endless evidence of their NEED for power and violence and how often they escalate situations.

No.

Fuck all cops. Every last fucking one.
