I didn't see anything there that improved public safety. I saw an apparently well meaning if patronising list of things to do in situations that weren't actually unsafe, (apart from the last one) being glibly presented as a way to maintain safety without involving the police.
The last one was the tell - minimizing domestic violence put paid any suggestion that this wasn't ideologically based, rather than written with genuineness or intelligence. And I say this as someone who has witnessed first hand the destructiveness of involving the police in a domestic violence issue (they cuffed and jailed my friend because his wife had severely beaten him). I would still call the cops. There's no one else to call.
- genewitch 4y agoso you witnessed the police abuse their power with your friend, but you still think that's the best bet? i don't think you're the target audience. Since this post was about you being the person your friend called. you know, instead of the police.
