In reply to the discussion: Woman is screaming inside her apt in celebration of Knick's win, LAPD kill her Doodle [View all]-misanthroptimist
(1,924 posts)31. It should always be assumed...
...that the cops who respond are cowards. They are fearful of everything. We've seen them shoot sleeping people, disabled people, people who are cooperating peacefully, dogs -even little chihuahuas.
The alternative explanation is that they aren't cowards, just bloodthirsty thugs who can't wait to shoot someone.
(Yes, I know that there are brave and honest cops. I wish they'd run the cowards and thugs out of policing.)

OP
I dont know how common 211 is everywhere but unless somebody is dead or dying, that can be a good number to call

Agreed. I was responding to a post suggesting there would be a question about it

Agreed. They will immediately transfer you to 911. Especially if you mention screaming.

Obama and Biden tried to improve police culture, which needs a drastic makeover, but Trump reversed course.

It is very sick that calling 911 is a life-and-death decision. In a bad, rock-and-hard-place way.
