On what grounds would you call the police?

[Ostrinski]

If any. Many people on here have expressed disdain for calling the police under certain circumstances. I don't know how I feel on the issue.

[Franz Fanonipants]

violence is p. much where i would

i mean, i am against private property but my neighbors are mostly working class mexicanos and i wouldn't just stand by idly if i saw them getting robbed.

pigs aren't cool but victimizing people isn't cool either.

[TheGodlessUtopian]

I prefer pigs, but "a rose by any other name..."

(Too bad pigs aren't roses though.lol)

[bcbm]

i have called 911 in an emergency situation.

[Deicide]

Good question. If my car or motorbike (or push bike) was stolen, I'd get them looking for it. I'd also phone them for a burglary, depending on what was taken. Apart from that, they're mostly useless. And from experience, they usually cause more harm than good. I hate having pigs in my house. Especially when there's a grow on (its happened three times, it felt like the world was about to end).

[NewLeft]

I mean I had to call 911 when my house was on fire.

Anytime if taking care of the problem myself would result likely in me facing prosecution or unnecessary harm.
And sadly in my job i often have to deal with cops, if I work on some incrowd illegal squatter rave a (sexual) assault can often be dealt with without involving the cops, during my work for one of the biggest concertvenues in amsterdam with a copstation on our doorstep not so much.
I do put the line though at stuff most "civies" would also citizen arrest someone, asaults and robberies and such. I consiously try to avoid working parties now a days I could end up handing people over for possession with intent to sell or shit like that.

[GPDP]

When my shit gets stolen, or someone is threatening me or my family's safety. They have actually found a phone that got stolen from me back in high school, so at least I know they can sometimes do their job.

[The Jay]

They generally haven't been helpful to me when I've had things stolen.

[TheGodlessUtopian]

When I need thugs to take care of my business...

And I used to think the Grantists and Taafe-ites were pro-cop! They can't hold a candle to our own dear Dodge-man! :)

But seriously, I have thought about what I would do in emergency situations, and when we used to have a rottie (big black dog, whose German name I cannot spell) was when I felt the safest. So, I think a big, territorial dog, with an unmistakable big-dog bark, is the best way to guarantee safety, not calling the cops after something has already happened. It's preventive medicine, to be preferred.

Oh, and I think I learned a new word for poo(p)! :) Thanks, Dodge-man! :)

[Luc]

I would call police in cases of extreme violence towards other people and a leftist group can't do anything about it (by leftist group do somthing I mean i.e. Antifa defend minority from Nazi attack), though I absolutely hate the Judiciary and never want to send people to prison I can't stand by and let someone be abused in a relationship, or raped and other similiar things

[Rafiq]

Cops take two hours to arrive so It's not big deal :laugh:

[gorillafuck]

last time I called the cops was because some guy called me a weenbag

[Pretty Flaco]

whenever i want my ass to get beat

[Vladimir Innit Lenin]

To give them a 5 minute warning that the mob are coming...muahahaha.:lol:

[Quail]

Sometimes when you call other emergency services the police come too. I called 999 because I cut too deep with a razor blade and panicked and a policeman came and confiscated it before I went to get stitched up, which confused me.

I'd call the police in any situation that would put people at risk if I didn't, I guess. I don't really have much faith in the police though. I don't know of anyone who has called them about a theft or anything and actually had any success in recovering what was stolen.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

I did when my car was stolen. It's the only way I can get to my job, which in this economy, I fucking desperately need.

...Only to find out the cops were the ones who towed it away.

Thanks, piggies!

[Jimmie Higgins]

To give them a 5 minute warning that the mob are coming...muahahaha.:lol:Ha, actually this might be the solution to the people saying that if you actually do have an emergency they'll never come anyway. So if you're ever asleep and you hear a bunch of people breaking in and yelling, "I hope we can find someone and beat the shit out of them," don't call the cops and say there's people trying to harm you, call and say that there are some occupy protesters setting up tents on the lawn of a public park and then give your address.

Oh, shit yeah, this is the other problem with "help" from the cops. My girlfriend had a seizure in public and the cops got there before the ambulance and while she was on the ground they just kept asking what drugs she was on. When I told them the epilepsy medicine they got pissed and kept demanding to know what drugs she took and wouldn't believe me when I said she hadn't taken any. When the medics came they asked a bunch of health questions and about her condition and also asked if she had taken anything else and when I said no, it didn't phase them and they asked other questions without skipping a beat.

Damn, a person on the ground and the cop only cared about an excuse to search me or her.

[MotherCossack]

oh man.... it's the fuzz!!!!
hey dude... hide the stash... yeah?!


i would call the police when i need their services... and i would expect a prompt and friendly exchange , followed by a no-nonsense response and swift action taken as required in order to resolve the problem.
allo allo allo

Rarely if ever would I call the police. I call comrades because of the police though.

[Vladimir Innit Lenin]

The only times i'd feel inclined to call the police would be for insurance purposes...like if you're phone is stolen, or stuff in your house is stolen, you don't get to claim on insurance if you haven't called the police within 24 hours or whatever it is.

But yeah, I think a lot of us share a disdain for the pigs and are dubious as to their merits in terms of 'the rule of law' and all that crap they enforce.

[MotherCossack]

and i tell you another thing.....
the old bill....
are a bleeding lot better than your average shop security guard!
they.... get paid on commission...
hate the world cos they have such shit jobs.....
take it all ...more than it all out on the poor fuckers they catch....
they are uncompromising, highly judgemental and wholly incapable of either empathy sympathy or for that matter understanding......
they just wanna lock you up, no trial, for ever if poss....
and inflict as much pain, emotional and physical as they can
no mitagating circumstances allowed....
i mean at least the coppers i've met have one eye on their pubic image and seem to be human....

how do i know this..... err....
i used to indulge, on the odd occasion ,
in vaguely nefarious activities of which i am not proud

This. And to call in a bomb threat.

[ellipsis]

If I was trying to ambush them.

[Zav]

I would call them if I or someone else was being raped or assaulted, because I would probably be tempted to shoot anyone doing that, and jail isn't fun.

[Искра]

Once I got beat up on the street by some hools and I went to a hospital so that doc's fix me up and they have reported this incident to police. Police came 3 months later to ask me what happened... and when they saw me all dressed up like a proper skinhead they have concluded that it was just a gang shit and that we kids need to play more on computer.

So, yeah... they are fucking usefull.

[Ele'ill]

I'm afraid to thank this post.

[NoPasaran1936]

Serious GBH, arson in which the property houses people and puts their lives at risk, manslaughter, murder...

[ColonelCossack]

If my life was in danger...

[OCMO]

I warned the cops who were boxing our picket line that the scab bus drivers were violating the road code in order to leave the terminal. They did nothing...:(
