Lesson learned: Do not call the Police for any reason!

[Coventina]

If a white blonde lady will get shot, is anyone safe from the police?

Maybe white men?

All I know is, this story of that poor woman getting shot for reporting a crime in progress will make me think twice.....

Will this case finally make people believe what African Americans have been saying?

(Sad, if so. But then, we all know that this country is very racist).

1. You sure want to make sure you have your dogs up

In a secure place. Police eill shoot dogs with no provocation st all.

My dogs go in their crates and are covered by a blanket if the police are anywhere near.

7. We crate ours during the day

I hate to do it but we had a middle of the day break in when they were puppies. We were crating them at that time and it made sense to continue it when they were adults. I'd rather our dogs be locked up rather than in the way of an intruder or a cop whose default position will be to blast away at anything moving in those scenarios. I come home for lunch a few times a week to give them a break. They are inside dogs so leaving in the backyard isn't an option.

2. If people say that THIS is the case that makes them realizing there's a problem with policing

in this country, they need to gently ask themselves why.

4. That's what I'm saying...

Sad, if so.

But maybe that's what it takes to rip the blinders off....

skinny white girls don't fit the stereotype of who "should" be a victim of police brutality.

5. This is scary. I have never trusted police officers

The ones I knew where bullies and used their badges to abuse in many ways.

6. So no cops AND no personal firearms.

Stellar.

8. I live in an unusual place. Understaffed overworked police simply do not respond to most calls.

But they have been known to shoot people who didn't deserve it. Sadly, I've witnessed it.

If someone has broken into your house, stolen your car, fender bender, etc., our cops will ask you to file a report on their web site, or in person at the police station. In-person at the police station is always an interesting Alice's Restaurant Group W experience. Our Wal-Mart often lets shoplifters go when they tire of waiting for the police to show up..

Somebody shot and bleeding, or on fire, yep, our police will be right on that.

I've called the police a few times, but it's never for the small stuff. I don't want anyone hurt.

Kid with a spray paint can spewing gang graffiti all over my back wall? That's worthy of little more than my dad tone ex-secondary school teacher voice, and so far, sometimes with a bit of hilarious teen mouth back, they've always fled. I wouldn't ever want any cops to shoot them.

9. Police: Armed and dangerous. n/t
