Last time I tried to call the cops, They took 6 hours to show up, and harassed and threatened me because the one that pulled a gun on me didnt decide to camp out and wait for them to come and arrest them.

Cops literally have gone to court to fight for the right to not be held accountable for failing to do their job.

They don't give a single fuck about you, except for how much they can hurt you..physically and legally, without getting in trouble or getting caught on camera.

But if you get accused of stealing 25 cents from walmart, they'll be there inside of 2 minutes with a swat team to bust your ass to the floor so hard you end up with a fractured skull.
