My most major recent police interaction is the time I called 911 because my neighbor's ex-husband was chasing her and her child through the street with a knife and the cops simply didn't show
My last instance was them tackling a patient in a hospital to the floor, putting their knees in the back of his neck, and punching him in the head. He thought they told him to walk out of the room and so he did with his hands up and that was their response. State, systemic, violence.
Also, bake sales so they can pay back the ginormous civil settlements their negligence or malice causes, instead of having to defund basically everything else in a small-to-medium jurisdiction
I called the Town Police because there was a car bumper/grille abandoned in the road—with the license plate still attached, no less. At 7:30 am on a Saturday.
Lots of silly, redundant questions later, including that they didn’t believe that I was working on Sat.they passed it off to State Hwy.
About 15-16 years ago, I was cleaning out @mmilford.bsky.social’s messy minivan after he came home from college. Found a wallet with a DL that didn’t belong to him.
Tried to turn it into the local Sheriff’s Office, figuring that the owner had reported it missing, or tossed it in the wrong car.
He drove Mom’s old Toyota Sienna & there’d been a lot of confusion when we were unloading the other student’s stuff at a McD’s.
Most likely, someone took the opportunity to dump it in the floor debris, figuring that it wouldn’t be noticed for months.
The Sheriff was very skeptical of us.
I recall it mostly because it was one of the few times that I really had to clean up after you—unlike the other twin, who needed a snow shoveling to see the carpet.
But now *is* a good time to nag you to go out to your car and throw away all the empty bottles again.
