Do you people really think there is an epidemic of people being thrown in solitary confinement for calling 911 to report accidents? REALLY?

What the fuck is going on here? Is one of my office mates pranking me with a man-in-the-middle attack and then trolling me hard? Or are there really that many retards on this forum?



I don't know.

If the cops who did stuff like this were actually punished, if the dept. came right out and said, this shouldn't have happened, we're gonna do this and this to fix it.. I wouldn't be afraid.

Instead I see, well, he must have pissed them off somehow, just be quiet and maybe nothing bad will happen to you.

All my encounters with cops have been good, but I understand the police dept. where I am is a pretty good one. Still, it only takes one bad encounter, one bad cop, to ruin my life.

I'm not gonna stop from calling the cops because I'm afraid of them. Someone else's life, their health, matters more than what could or couldn't happen to me. But I can't support this system and I don't know what to do about it.


HN commentators are smart, but they are not above the effects of the limbic system, unfortunately.
