like I don't wanna be mr cracker callin cops but say you hear your neighbor bang on his front door so loud it shakes your apartment 3 rooms away, you hear him inside yelling with a woman, hard to tell what they say, but you clearly hear "get out of my face" from her, and either "give me my keys" or "give me my kids" (but wtf???) from her, shouting, and then pounding like someone is being flung around the room

is this cop time? do cops make things worse? is this "just talk to your neighbors" time even though the clear and present threat of violence is there?? I literally do not know what to do. I panicked, I called the cops, I think they literally just talked to the guy and then left.. idk what the alternative would be, I can't just get the woman alone to ask if she's okay when the dude's almost always there, guy is like 7 foot fuck,

e: I don't know how to reconcile "all cops suck they make everything worse" with not wanting to be a fucking bystander when someone is potentially (from all the sensory information I can gather) getting beaten by their partner

    I don't know why they're piling on you when all you have said makes more sense than their reasoning.

    The cops shows up. Probably asks some questions about domestic disturbance and leaves. The guy thinks his partner called the pigs and beats them up more(if they were beating them up in the first place). All I am getting from OP is shouting. Or if they were poc then the pigs shoot first. Like that hasn't happened before.

    "I panicked and call the cops" is a big lib move when OP didn't even go there and talked to the people involved. If OP is scared then they could have asked their other neighbors. A big lib move since it could have got people killed.

        They may beat you, they’ll probably call you slurs, but some countries put in a little more effort than Americans

        this idea that acab should only apply to America is dangerous bullshit.

        We don't know if the OP is American or not unless they said it somewhere. Calling the cops without understanding what is even going on without talking to the people involved(again the OP can ask the other neighbors to come along) is a surefire way to get someone potentially killed. You do more harm than good unless it's an absolute life and death situation like a standoff and even then pigs have done more harm than good.
