    Cops suck at their job, and they hate it if you explain it to them.
    I can’t remember a single time in my 40-years-long life when a cop genuinely helped me in any way,
    apart from writing a report (full of errors and spelling mistakes) that my insurance demanded.
    And I really don’t believe they “make the streets safer” either.

    • In Montreal, I was riding my bike drunk and crashed pretty badly. I broke a tooth and was bleeding out of my mouth. I got up and kept riding home when a cop stopped me who was sitting next to his car monitoring pedestrian traffic. They took out their first aid kit, gave me some gauze, asked if I needed to go to the ER, then let me be on my way.

      I feel like that wouldn’t happen in the US. I was still very drunk.

      kids stole my car

      cops gave chase

      they crashed the car

      ran on foot

      cops gave chase

      they ran into an abandoned house

      cops stopped outside

      they walked nonchalantly out of the house

      cops did not arrest as they could not be sure it was the same people

      literal skyrim npc behavior.
