Some teenagers broke into a vacant property on my block and were destroying the place. They broke all the windows were running around and smashing holes in the wall. I feel bad because acab but I didn't know what to do. I don't particularly want kids destroying my block and I talked to my neighbor who lived next door and he seemed legit scared about the situation. I don't feel like confronting them would have been safe since it would have been many of them and one of me.
Could I have done something different?
Update I don't even know if the police ended up coming but it quieted down within 10 minutes of my call. A couple cars were broken into and one was stolen.
I remember that. I thought "do you not think the wife would WANT you to call the police?"
I mean jesus ok cops have showed up on a scene before and escalated it into a homicide, true. ALSO husbands beating their wives have escalated beatings into homicides. I'll bet more abuser husbands have killed wives than random cops have killed people on calls. This site is idealistic which is nice but they fail at common sense.
