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?
Fair but calling for this reason is more likely to end with the cops showing up after the bodily harm has occurred. You need a way to self-host your armed response.
“When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.”
Point being it’s a last resort. I’ve lost all other options, may as well at least get someone there to ID the body or somesuch.
