Should have made sure you got that groundhog the first time.
Since when do cops do stuff like this? Is this some white privilege or something I'm confused.
They do it all the time in the Land of Make-believe.
They don't probably unless you know them or it is a really slow day.
- After the first time the dog should have been on a leash
- In the words of Billy Madison, you get your ass out there and you find that f@#$ing dog. Don't use emergency services when a shovel will do.
I could see it in a small town. Some cops actually are interested in helping people. I knew some Trenton cops that would hang out on the corner with some neighborhood kids and buy them bodega treats even though they didn’t have to. Still not trusting a cop until I feel them out though

Do you have an example of cops talking about rights? That sounds like a generally good thing, but I'm probably missing something.
They show up and use about 200 rounds to shoot the hole bigger, all while a SWAT team is watching from a nearby roof in case the groundhog came back.
