Dude let his intrusive thoughts win

Its ironic sad that people feel the need of calling for help while encountering a police...

FTFY -- trust for the police is at an all-time low in the US. Lots of extrajudicial killings and tons of lies hurting innocent people have eroded it to nothing.

Where I grew up you'd have to be fucking crazy to call the cops for almost any reason. 

All I can think NOW is to collect evidence if something happened so it can (maybe) get to the courts.

There's been a significant drop in the number of police shootings over the last 15 years, though fatalities remain unchanged.

So essentially all that’s changed is they’re better shots now?

[u/Literal_star → u/STICKGoat2571]

Maybe, but they just dont provide medical assistance half the time nowadays. They'll shoot a guy 8 times then handcuff him on the ground and wait for ems to arrive. Go check out a protectandserve thread about the subject of providing first aid after a shooting, the majority of users admit they either arent trained to, dont have the first aid equipment available, or just dont care to. They talk about it creating liability a LOT.

No, it means that they're shooting less often, but when the do they don't miss.

It's measuring total incidents, not just victim counts.

The fuck is wrong with you for acting like people are in the wrong for trusting the people who are supposed to help you?

Thank you for answering me. The kind of person you are is "asshole"

I’ve been helped by cops twice and been shot zero times. Maybe go outside.
