What is the point if there are people on many streets with CCTVs doing drugs openly. I saw a cop simply walk by someone overdosing. Nothing will happen.
Again, what is the point exactly? Can anyone tell me?
(Again, what is the point of the down-vote? I am asking for people's thought and opinions in the hope of a fruitful conversation).

- grepnork 1y agoOut of curiosity exactly who is this ruling class?
- betaby 1y agoLet's say those people for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partygate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partygate
- tonyedgecombe 1y agoThe Conservatives are out of power. They were defeated in the last election.
- grepnork 1y agoYou mean idiots who went to private schools then?
- bevhill 1y agoYou can just say it.
- grepnork 1y agoOverdosing is not a crime, it's not even the job of the Police to help, and possession of drugs is being ignored by most forces because an arrest takes two officers off frontline services for 4 hours, when it will most likely result in a caution.
- johnisgood 1y agoHere, if the cop sees someone overdosing, they immediately call the ambulance, not walk by and do nothing. Also if someone is overdosing, they are probably possessing. People should do it at home or somewhere else, not on the streets. I don't care if someone is consuming inside their home.
- grepnork 1y ago>Here, if the cop sees someone overdosing, they immediately call the ambulance, not walk by and do nothing. This unevidenced claim is probably nonsense in any case, no police officer would simply walk by. They may very well walk by and talk into their radio to summon the right kind of help, or they may be responding to a higher priority call. Just because your mate Bob claims they saw something, doesn't mean Bob had any real idea what was going on. It's like the old saw about a window blind for a hospital ward costing £200, when you can buy one for £20 elsewhere. Thing is the one for £20 doesn't come with a specialised coating that eliminates bacterial or viral spread, or with a bloke that installs it according to the relevant safety regulations, or the supervisor who certifies the installation. It certainly doesn't come with a number you can call to fix the blind if there's a problem with it that includes on site service.
- bevhill 1y agoYou're right! Your anecdote is much better than theirs. You won me over at least.
- johnisgood 1y agoLmao. Hey, I have it on video. I will post it if he really wants it.
- const_cast 1y agoThe point of the police state is not to prevent crime, but to silence dissent and foster cooperation with whatever government propaganda and initiatives are popular at the time. In fact, often defeating crime is bad for this purpose. If you want to maintain a propaganda machine of an enemy within, you need crime. You might even, say, give drugs to those communities. Looking at you, CIA.
- la_mezcla 1y agoOne doesn't do drugs. One consumes or sells them. Next time do HN better :)
