12 things to do instead of calling the cops (must be seen to be believed)

I never call the police and I’m not a progressive.

I don’t anticipate I ever will.

I have never called the police, I am a firm believer in Property owner rights and that Wolves, Coyotes, Buzzards and Crows have to eat too.

If you're part of a group that's holding a rally or demonstration, DON’T get a permit or otherwise cooperate with the police.

Thereby assuring some sort of confrontation with the police will occur.

I was about to say, after reading number 1, this is an open invitation to steal from progressives, but then I remembered progressives probably have nothing to defend (except their stash). Then I got to the part about them defending corporate private property and I had to laugh at the idea of a progressive owning or being in charge of corporate private property. lol

Don’t forget:

13. Shoot your dog.
14. Roll a dice on shooting yourself. 1 or 2 you lose.
15. Take your meth to the police station to be tested.

8. If your neighbor is having a party and the noise is bothering you, go over and talk to them. Getting to know your neighbors with community events like block parties is a good way to make asking them to quiet down a little less uncomfortable. Or find another neighbor who is willing to do so.

I called the cops on a noisy party a few years ago. I later found out a murder had been committed there earlier that night. Yes, blacks. If I had showed up there and started complaining, I might have been killed.

There’s an old saying, “Never invite THE MAN into your life.”

It’s never been truer.

This is my take as well.

The easiest solution to the problem is disband all police, ICE, and military. Problem solved. Does that make me a hero to PLOT? :-) /*Satire

Looks like something out of “Steal This Book.”

I did have to call the police once. My estranged (soon to be ex) wife would not leave my house after dropping off one of my kids for visitation. Since she was being belligerent and would not leave - and I couldn’t shoot her - I had no choice but to call the police.

So, in essence, since the government would not let me take care of it myself and my daughter would have seen where I buried her, I had no choice but to call the police.

You don't think that's where this is going?

“So, in essence, since the government would not let me take care of it myself and my daughter would have seen where I buried her, I had no choice but to call the police.”

Yeah, I would under that specific circumstance.

None of this applies to reacting to those who exhibit conservative or republican tendencies, and most especially, DO call the police if anyone wants a law-abiding firearms owner murdered. Hello, Maryland.

"...I never call the police and I’m not a Progressive..."

Same here. Voluntarily involving the police in a neighborhood concern very rarely improves a situation.
The most important aspect to remember is the police are not your pals.

Do not invite them into your house/condo/apartment for ANY discussion, regardless of weather.
Chat with them outside should they be summoned for whatever reason.

On #4: Saw a cop give a ticket to a driver while the driver was in the parking lot ready to drive into a windshield replacement bay because his windshield was cracked in the drivers vision making it unsafe.

[Mears]

“3. If you observe someone exhibiting behavior that seems odd to you, don’t assume that they are publicly intoxicated. A traumatic brain injury or similar medical episode may be occurring. Ask if they are OK, if they have a medical condition, and if they need assistance”

Yeah,sure,I’m going to walk up to someone hinky and start a conversation

That said,I wouldn’t call the cops either——I would walk away.

The part they leave out is that private security details are ok for some but not others.

Also: That saying See Something, Say Something goes further one more step. Get Sued.
