I sincerely hope you recall this convo and realize how stupid it was when you're faced with a situation like I'm talking about lol, cuz holy shit someone could die
I agree cops are dumb lmao, that's not what I'm talking about here, but not everyone is in a situation where they know their neighbors like that nor are they in one where they could do anything.
I don't know anyone here. I could go bang on some doors I guess? They'd just call the cops then, or on me for fucking running around banging on doors lmao
Like there are times in this society in which we live in that you have to call the fucking cops to stop violent people, and I'm not talking about people playing music too loud or whatever I'm talking about people who are actively harming others.
There's literally no other available resource. It just is like that sometimes.

How many of those people know their local PD officers? It's the same problem. We've just trained people to feel anxious around neighbors while feeling safe calling 911.

Everything carries risks. And you make the best decision you can with the information you have. But plugging your ears and insisting "Police are the only option, you idiot!" only reinforces the misconception.
Call a neighbor you trust.

I've been in this exact situation, and I regretted calling the cops when they:
Would have been way better off calling a neighbor and investing myself than waiting for a clown car from the Houston PD to show up.
