It's only ever made me feel safe at work when they pull up bc we hit the panic button For some reason, my specific venue and the police have a v good relationship? Like they'll come up when we're closed and ask to use the bathroom and we tell them to fuck off and they just stand there looking super depressed and wounded so then we let them in to pee 😭
However. After working with cops as an EMT for a couple years, and serving groups of cops, and then 'hanging' with the cops who drink a lot after hours when I'm bartending and we're closing No I don't trust cops and NO THEY DO NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFE 😭 I can protect me significantly better than a cop could
Except for at work. Bc these belligerent stupid violent ppl stand tf down once they see a bunch of badges pulling up, or a flash of a gun Or sometimes they keep going but the concept of being arrested staves them off a lil bit Usually if the fear factor doesn't work tho, the cops are useless. Our private security and we the staff are much more useful.
