    Cops refuse to show up on my methhead neighbors - they have weapons. But when my (then) husband wanted to evict my little unarmed 5’3” butt from the house I’d lived in for the past seven years, after physically beating me to the point I wasn’t really cogent, they sent a whole riot squad to pick me up.

      Well, they would be scared to deal with armed tweakers, and then they would have to arrest them and file a bunch of paperwork, show up in court, yada yada yada.

      Evicting you was just a fun thing to do that presented zero risk and had minimal paperwork.

      It’s crazy that police enjoy the massive public support they do. People are dumb, and police shows on tv do a number on dumb people.
