      They didn’t call the cops…

        When you have a problem and the police arrive, suddenly you have two problems.

      I got the cops called on me. They made the situation worse and the discovery wasn’t even on point with what happened. No one was in control of the situation. It’s a joke.

        But that’s part of the problem: the cops were in charge. They were the ones with the guns and the mostly unchecked power. They just don’t know what the fuck to do in most situations except arrest, assault, or shoot someone.
