[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with your son.  Mr. Rogers and his advice to seek out the “helpers” no longer applies.  [/quote]

OK, so you won't be calling the police if someone breaks into your home? You won't be calling the police if you see or hear a neighbor beating his wife? You won't be calling the police if you drive by your elementary school, and the windows are smashed in?

I demand justice for George Floyd. But I'm also not such a hypocrite as to say that all police = bad when I know damn well who I would call if I were robbed at gunpoint again, as I was four years ago. [/quote]

My neighbors were fighting in the street, he had shoved her and she fell down and hurt herself and was crying.  It seemed pretty obvious they were both addicts. He wasn't being aggressive with me around. She didn't want police, she just wanted the guy to be nice to her. I asked her if she had someplace safe to go, she told her dad's address, I called her an uber and waited with her in the car. Was it a great solution, no. Would calling the cops have helped anything for either of them, I wish, but no.[/quote]

Thank you for this anecdata. It really helps to know that this one time, you did this one thing.[/quote]

Silly response.

Point is people jump to calling cops. This reminds people not everything is a cop solution. [/quote]
