Americans are actually becoming afraid of cops showing up, anywhere, for any reason.
Calling the cops used to be the way to make the drama end, you were calling for the calm to come and settle the men down, now, the results are sometimes unimaginable to Americans old enough to remember the past.
A growing number of people are thinking that calling the cops today is to invite chaos, death, and destruction into your family home, and that whatever the issue is with uncle Harry, that it can’t be as bad as getting people killed and thousands of dollars worth of damage to the house and the cars in the driveway, and the dogs being executed.
Even carrying a couple of thousands dollars to go buy something, has people not hoping to see plenty of cops on the way to make them feel safe, but instead terrified that a cop will rob them.
From a town not far from me.The parents of a young man with [low level retardation] called the police because he locked himself in his room, the cops came with their swat team within the next 45 mins he was dead, shot by the cops as they broke down the door when he would not respond to commands. Parents never recovered from the incident and moved away. Everything swept under the rug no one ever prosecuted.
