okay please let me clarify, talk tot he police if it will actually help to solve or prevent crimes

police will also give you directions, respond to non-criminal emergency situations, direct traffic, help old ladies across the street etc

the police are not exclusively a tool of capitalist oppression, and you don't gotta apply "smash the state" antics to beat cops doing good work

lol i remember one time in a grey forum there was a circlejerk over how we should just totally abolish the police in one fell swoop

and they would get super mad at anyone who tried asking "okay but what do we do after that" as if asking someone to consider the possible consequences of their proposed policy change was an unforgivably counter-revolutionary sentiment

that restaurant is paying/giving free food to those cops in order to have a police presence at night

it's super common where i'm from, you just have em wear the uniform after their shift is done and park their prowler in a conspicuous place

apartment complexes frequently do the same thing but with rent discounts

yup. let's be fair here the target audience isn't the users it is the gullible investors who are convinced that snapchat is worth $10b
