My grandmother lived next to cop. You don’t want to live next to a cop. They think they’re the authority over EVERYTHING. He built his fence three feet into her yard. What an asshole, thinking he’d run over a 90 year old lady. We forced him to move it.
My neighbor is a transit cop. Idk what his deal is but he hasn’t spoken to me in six years so I figure we’re cool.
Just ignore them? I already ignore my neighbours that aren’t pricks, ignoring a prick is no different
Would you move away?
how many people can afford to just “move away” if they don’t like their neighbors?
Houses cost roughly 1 house
Moving the stuff inside and the fees and the increased interest rate cost another 1 house. If we’re keeping track, that’s > 1 house to move to one house other than your current one house.
Good for you
My neighbour growing up was a cop. He and his wife were Christian fundies who had like 8 kids.
I literally never had a single bad interaction with them, and by all accounts he was an alright dad to those kids. I still see him when I visit my folks for the holidays, and when I do, I see his kids now all grown up with kids of their own visiting their parents
Nothing. Not even talk to them. Being cordially distant.
Pretty much how I am with all of my neighbors anyway…
Same.
Mostly mind my own business, but expect to have to record and report a domestic abuse.
I lived a couple houses down from a cop.
His whole family were dickish Karen types and got the annual block party shut down. Their house was regularly egged and TPd until they moved. I may or may not have been involved in some of those eggings.
I’m sure you weren’t egging it, you were at my place that night
Did your block party get resurrected after they moved?
Most people can’t afford to just “move”.
Not really pay attention to them at all. Can’t be arsed to care, unless they start waving that gun.
Depends on the situation. But generally agree with the top comment.
Recently a cop help me with something not so super legal. Was kinda hilarious as neither of us knew about the other until we casually talked about work and he showed his badge. He was really sweet, and just hated his job. Lost soul. Hope he finds a better way. But he’s still a cop, so I ultimately wouldn’t trust him.
Assigned Cat At Birth
Can I be an ACAB? 🥺👉👈
(new Anime Idea: The time when I commented on Lemmy and was offered by the gods to be reincarnated as a cat)
In the name of the hiss, the scratch, and the holy meow, I hereby assign you a cat at birth, postnatally.
Ooooooooom
(>^ _^)><( ^ _ ^ )><(^ _^<)
🧙🐱🐈🧙
It’s done. You’re ACAB now.
I wouldn’t really be able to just up and move so I’d just avoid them as much as possible and hope for the best
Not american here, cops here are actually a trained job with multiple years of training before going out. 3 years pure training minimum and the slightes missbehaviour can get you fired and suspended from your job which will be marked down
Things are more strict in America, they hold up a mirror to you and if you breathe on it and it fogs up, then you are hired.
I hope earnestly you don’t mean German cops.
Lol no i dont. Augsburg City Club got raided by 500 police just so the state could show their power again
Yeah, I thought your name narrowed it down to DACH and there’s a lot of German cop apologists out there, because they’re white and only interact with cops during traffic stops.
Oh hell no. Germany is racist af all over
No he/she probably don’t. In Germany, the pigs wallow in their own shit and cover each other.
I would just mind my business . If he occasionally needs to use a trash can or whatever, I’m not causing any trouble. No reason to assume the worst, but if he starts causing trouble, yeah moving would be the only solution there.
Cop lives somewhere down the street.
I ignore him.
But I also have talked to the neighbors on purpose like. Twice. In almost twenty years lol.
