My neighbor is a transit cop. Idk what his deal is but he hasn’t spoken to me in six years so I figure we’re cool.
I would just mind my business . If he occasionally needs to use a trash can or whatever, I’m not causing any trouble. No reason to assume the worst, but if he starts causing trouble, yeah moving would be the only solution there.
We had cops for neighbours at one place and one down the street in another. Both great people. Used to get together with them, kids played together, etc.
Great people don’t remain cops for long, so I really doubt it
I still know one of them. Have been an acquaintance of another cop for 15 years. Still great people.
Until they witness their coworkers do awful things and say nothing.
And I can tell you with certainty that’s what they do, because the ones that do try to do the right thing are fired at best, and literally murdered at worst.
!! What country do you live in?
The US. Look up Christopher Dorner for just one, high profile, example.
I don’t think you can judge cops worldwide by the cops in your country.
This must be US thing I presume?
ACAB applies worldwide, not just the US.
That’s pretty bullshit. And I’m sorry for everyone that thinks this is the case since they probably doesn’t meet normal ones that often as I do…
I had a cop two door down for years. I loved having that cop car sitting there every night.
Police Station 100m away. I’d encourage a few more to move in. They do serve and protect where I live.
Something else
Would that be worse than the crackhead who lived there before them?
Depends on the situation. But generally agree with the top comment.
Recently a cop help me with something not so super legal. Was kinda hilarious as neither of us knew about the other until we casually talked about work and he showed his badge. He was really sweet, and just hated his job. Lost soul. Hope he finds a better way. But he’s still a cop, so I ultimately wouldn’t trust him.
Assigned Cat At Birth
Can I be an ACAB? 🥺👉👈
(new Anime Idea: The time when I commented on Lemmy and was offered by the gods to be reincarnated as a cat)
In the name of the hiss, the scratch, and the holy meow, I hereby assign you a cat at birth, postnatally.
Ooooooooom

It’s done. You’re ACAB now.
Cop lives somewhere down the street.
I ignore him.
But I also have talked to the neighbors on purpose like. Twice. In almost twenty years lol.
I would go out of my way to avoid them
Not american here, cops here are actually a trained job with multiple years of training before going out. 3 years pure training minimum and the slightes missbehaviour can get you fired and suspended from your job which will be marked down
Things are more strict in America, they hold up a mirror to you and if you breathe on it and it fogs up, then you are hired.
I hope earnestly you don’t mean German cops.
No he/she probably don’t. In Germany, the pigs wallow in their own shit and cover each other.
Lol no i dont. Augsburg City Club got raided by 500 police just so the state could show their power again
Yeah, I thought your name narrowed it down to DACH and there’s a lot of German cop apologists out there, because they’re white and only interact with cops during traffic stops.
Oh hell no. Germany is racist af all over
I wouldn’t really be able to just up and move so I’d just avoid them as much as possible and hope for the best
Just ignore them? I already ignore my neighbours that aren’t pricks, ignoring a prick is no different
I’d be more discreet about my moonshine operation, that’s for sure.
I did have one down the street at one point. We each minded our own business and I considered it good for my family’s safety to have a police car always parked nearby
Yeah the rabid lion does tend to keep the wolves at bay and they barely eat any children .
