I know Lemmy has the ACAB sentinment, and I get it, I don’t trust them either. But real talk tho, there are some scenarios where you might not have other options.

So… the question is: When, if ever, would you call for law enforcement? And if you distrust law enforcement, is there ever a situation where it gets so bad that you just have to risk involving law enforcement?

    Oof, I think domestic disputes is the worst thing to involve law enforcement.

    Like, a burglar is much a simpler situation. One is homeowner, one is not. But domestic dispute is just a random stranger in a position of power (that’s essentially what a cop is) of judging who is, in their opinion, the worse partner. Basically a 50%/50% roll of dice of getting yourself arrested, or shot.
