Regarding my prior post about those brave and indolent men whom protect and serve our Glorious Capital.

What do you want police officers to do if you are committing a crime? Just ignore it and let you do it? Seems like while you are suffering and clearly needed help out of a situation you still broke the law and got caught.

There's not a whole lot of access for care for people on the street. And yes it is a crap situation to be in. I want the people on the street to be cared for and have a safe environment to become capable members of society, but I also know some people on the street don't necessarily want that. Prior to covid, I would go downtown and talk to some of the people on the street and offer to buy them a coffee or something to eat. I've heard the stories. And most of the time, the ones that I've spoken to had a rough patch and it all came crumbling down, but most never turned committing crimes for it.

Why does it all have to come down on the police officers for not getting you care and such, though?
