It has gotten to the point where calling the cops during or ahead of a crime being committed is more deadly than dealing with things yourself, and that's rightly scary. Cops should be treated like loaded guns: only use it if you intend on someone dying.

Even then don't fucking use them, imagine having a gun but it just spins around like a weeblewobble and shoots the person with the darkest skin. Fuck that noise.

Edit: or any dog, they fucking love animal cruelty apparently.

Murdered the one not wearing the ski mask.

Agree with ACAB or not, this one is a murderer.

I saw this before but didn't see that the intruder was wearing a ski mask. JFC, trigger-happy piggies are really not the brightest bulbs.
