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?

    I frequently call the police (2 to 4 times a year) and have the number saved for all my local cities.

    Why?

    Anytime you see something in the road that doesn’t belong there (chains, pieces of debris, a block of wood, trailer ramps, shredded tire) they will send someone to come move it. I’m my city this service is very reliable.
