be nice to the class traitors, they might betray us less

Be nice to people, that’s all.

But I don’t see what’s productive about demonizing the police when we both know that the first thing you’ll do when someone breaks into your house or whoops your butt is call the police. Or do you think you can bring justice to perpetrators in your own terms with your own hands?

I only contact the police when it's absolutely necessary, which is to say I've never contacted the police. Cops are only capable of making a situation worse.

If my apartment had a break in, the only reason to call them is to file an insurance claim, which only matters if they walk off with 1 of 4 items worth more than $500. If I were mugged or had my ass beaten, there's a nonzero chance that I wouldn't even bother with a hospital let alone cops.
