Lmao. Guess we'll all die terrified. I'd be interested to know why, but it looks like its some cops' decision. I don't wonder why they get to hurt even more people.
There’s a lot of things to blame the police for, but this isn’t one of them. Besides, emergency services aren’t just cops. Why would they have all the say over a hotline they compose only one facet of?
Because I misread, probably? But its the kind of massively overreaching think I'm used to cops doing or trying to do here. Glad we have a different group of people to blame.
