What are your local police like?

13. The cops around here, two cities and county, are lazy at best.

That's just the truth. Yeah, there are a few that are probably okay, but when my brother's house was broken into, the cop they sent out wouldn't even get out of his car. He just said that soon, every house in the city will have been broken into, so what is the big deal. Another time, someone threw something through my window. Same thing -- cop barely got out of his car. When my brother was younger, he got pulled over by a cop for a traffic incident and was asked why a white boy like him was dressed like the N-word. Another time he was in an altercation that his girlfriend provoked in a parking lot and the cops would not do one damn thing, even though my brother almost died from the beating. In fact, when I went down to show them the evidence on my brother's car that those goons had been beating on his car, they just said we had done it ourselves and were lying. Why we would be, we have no idea.

So, yeah, I have a really low opinion of the cops in my area and honestly? My experiences have been mild compared to others.
