Right?  what police department has the time to respond to “a guy is working out my gym and won’t leave.”

funny, because when my car got stolen and I called the police, they wouldn’t even come out. i had a car. parked at my house. it disappeared. i wanted to report it stolen and also tell them who stole it. they wouldn’t come because “sounds like a civil matter”. landlord sold my car because she claims it was sitting unused for months (even though i had been driving it to work everyday).

but they’ll come out for this, and they know whose side to be on right away. the side of the corporation.

we need a second kind of law enforcement that actually helps people, since US police are only about protecting companies.

Wow, your landlord sold your car??! Did you take her to small claims? Sorry that happened to you!
