I know Lemmy has the ACAB sentinment, and I get it, I don’t trust them either. But real talk tho, there are some scenarios where you might not have other options.
So… the question is: When, if ever, would you call for law enforcement? And if you distrust law enforcement, is there ever a situation where it gets so bad that you just have to risk involving law enforcement?
Vehicle crash, gunshots, someone trying (and failing, or I wouldn’t have time to call) to break into my house.
Gunshots? Where do you live that that’s not a regular thing?
If I am anywhere but my house (firing range nearby) gunshots typically mean someone’s getting shot. I live in a place where that isn’t a normal thing.
Here gunshots just means someone is drunk (US city).
Not the US or central Africa
