...calling the cops to report a crime is pointless. They treat you like a criminal. Civil rights go out da' window. Living in a BAD area doesn't mean yr BAD, but try convincing the cops of that! Serve And Protect...My A$$!:tongue:

I've had trouble with that 'serve and protect' part too! Wanted to sue the dept but ended up letting it go...Hope your troubles aren't to serious.

Cop walks into my apt. I'm playin' Mozart...looks around at the stacks of books...examines the pages of the book I'm writing. Looks at me and says "What the f*** are ya' doin' here?" He'd NEVER understand. :tongue:

I think that Chuck D of Public Enemy stated it most effectively...

"Yeah, **** the police - but who's stopping you from killing me?"

If you put the issue into context, we might understand the problem.

I still believe there are mostly good cops, but the justice system at large is riddled with preconceptions and prejudices towards certain 'groups' of people.

Something doesn't make sense. Sorry it happen to you. If you live in a crappy neighborhood you generally have to be careful about letting anyone know you have nice stuff. Sad but true junkies will just work down the list on addresses or see you taking something nice in and come back when they need money.

So, the cop shows up to take a report and treated you as if you were the criminal (?)


We've all heard this, unfortunately! This same thing happens in "good"
and "bad" neighborhoods (but obviously less in "good" neighborhoods).

Stupid question on my part: Wouldn't a "better" neighborhood be in order?
If "cost" is a concern, I'm sure there are competitive rates in the better
neighborhoods (that's been my experience in Houston - of course, that
might not be the same in all cities/towns).

Not that that solves your current issue at hand, or that it resolves how
the cops should have handled it. As with people in general, there are
good and bad cops.

Well..Of Cousre. Roll the dice. Will moving help? Will a random phone complaint to a cop help? What's the difference, man? There's no consitency ...sooo,...it's all a big crap shoot, isn't it?:tongue:

I say you go file a complaint. I would. If the cop is being a d@@chebag to you, I guarantee it's not the first time. I don't know why people don't report cops more. It's why they continue on the way they are. Why do you think they become cops? Because they are losers that got beat up in high school and this is their only way to get power. As you can tell, I am no fan of the boys in blue.
