Fun fact is the neighbors called the cops a ton to report them but the cops only came a few times.

Typical police behavior. Don’t forget, there’s actually no expectation for them to protect and serve for us (thanks Supreme Court).

[u/yourmomlurks → u/muffinmamamojo]

The supreme court interprets existing law. If we want police to protect and serve we have to legislate it. None of our current govt would do that.

Also the police has its origins in racism anyway so we probably need to rethink how we want to approach these services.
