He's just as likely to shoot you while you're "resisting arrest"

...which is why calling the police is usually a bad idea.

Sometimes they show up even when you didn't call them

There are SO MANY damn cases like this one...

Woman Calls Non-Emergency Number to Get Help for Suicidal Boyfriend. Cops Arrive, Kill Him. - Hit & Run : Reason.com


Family releases video of Dallas police fatal shooting of mental patient | | Dallas Morning News





'We called for help, and they killed my son,' North Carolina man says - CNN.com


Teen shot by Purcellville officer was depressed; friend had called for help - The Washington Post

and on and on...

When people ask what I would do if I were in trouble of some kind, then I would have to call the police, I would say calling the police is often a bad idea.... we won't even start on the fact that they shoot a family dog about once every 90 minutes in the US.


(and I say all this as someone who was a reserve deputy sheriff for a year and a half in AZ about 20 years ago.... things have definitely changed for the worse)
