    My sister-in-law is an ambulance attendant and volunteer fireman. Total hero. But her day-job is as a Mountie. Really-really, she does all three.

    So is she a bastard or a hero? Decide whether this monkey dances properly for your armchair viewing.

    I bet you are the first one to call your “bastards” when something is going on.

      I’ve called for an ambulance, to report a crashed car, to report a flipped semi, and to report a reckless driver.
      I’ve never called for the cops.

      There are other emergency services than the police.

      Cops responding to all calls is a failure of the system—they are a catch-all.

      Depends on how people live and where.

      I have literally never ever needed a cop for anything.

      My few interactions with them in life, at different ages and in wildly different places and situations, have been needlessly intense even though I clearly pose zero threat. And all they did was make my life harder with imposing jurisdiction rather than any level of fucking humanity or understanding.

      Their default was to assume I’m a threat even if the situation is something benign like an issue with my car insurance I was unaware of.

      Zero care. Zero humanity. Treat you as default like a fucking criminal.

      Not even getting into the endless evidence of their NEED for power and violence and how often they escalate situations.

      No.

      Fuck all cops. Every last fucking one.

    There needs to be like, 2 blue pixels outside the red circle. Some cops are dogs, y’know. They’re good boys.
