I never understand why people can criticize cops, say F the police, and run from the police, as well as trying to antagonize them, yet they're the first ones to call and ask for help when they're in serious trouble. Why?
Why do people say F the police but when they need help they call them

No situation is so dire it cannot be made worse by the arrival of the police

Okay Rodney King.

I will never understand why people fetishize the police so much that they are willing to look past slam dunk evidence of corruption, brutality, harassment, and murder without consequences.
It's not a feat of mental gymnastics to understand the real need for law enforcement while also demanding that bad actors within law enforcement be punished when they break the law or use their power to victimize others.

Without police there would be absolute chaos, unless every citizen started packing heat. A subset of people would rob and rape anyone they wanted and there would be no consequences, until someone carrying their own gun shoots them to stop them. Eventually everyone would have their own gun, and the people taking advantage of others would all be dead.

Get it right. They don’t call the cops. They call their local warlord. All those homicides in Chicago aren’t murders, they are “community policing”.

Because people are stupid. It's also stupid to label all cops good or bad. It's like saying all teachers are good/bad. All doctors good/bad. All janitors good/bad. We have good and bad people in every profession.

Anyone seen the Florida games thing where it's a friendly competition and you get to run from the police on an obstacle course?

For 98% of mankind's history, there was no police.

Always and forever some dumb MF bringing up Chicago, which has never ever led the country in homicide rates or in violent crime rates. Never.

In other professions, the worst of the worst who commit the most egregious offensives are punished, fired or prosecuted. Rarely ever do police serve prison time or even reprimanded for horrible behavior.

Because they often aren't helpful. My friend asked police to escort her back inside her home so she could retrieve her belongings after literally escaping from her abusive ex-husband. The police wouldn't do it because the ex had guns in the house.
