i’m tired of police. don’t call the police into your community unless you HAVE to. you don’t know who you could be putting at risk in your community.
calling the police on some kids hanging out is unnecessary . calling the police on someone taking a walk- who might have strange behavior which can be due to head injury, mental illness etc- is unnecessary. calling the police when you have NO immediate reason, is unnecessary.
just a reminder that every time you call the police into your community without a real reason, you are potentially putting lives, especially poc & specifically Black lives at risk. It’s similar to why you shouldn’t call the police on mentally ill folks for ‘check ups’ and stuff. I made that mistake in my past, thankfully already being in an urban community, a lot of the cops aren’t as bad due to being brought up in the community. unfortunately they are 16x more likely to kill a mentally ill person than Actually help.
Please keep these things in mind before calling the cops. Your white a$$ might think it’s necessary, but usually it is not. white ppl especially are SO conditioned to call first ask questions later. remember that it can cost someone their life.
