Cop doesn't know all this. OP's friend didn't say anything because they don't want to stir up drama. Its the neighbor's problem, not the cop

it was up on jackstands, the woman who's house I was in front of came out demanding that I move it. She even called the cops. 3/?

I spent an hour explaining to her "I have to fix it to move it... Go away and stop screaming at me so I can fix it". Crazy bitch. 4/5

I'd wonder if they're really willing to go to jail for assault over you doing something perfectly legal. People are fucking stupid.

That is actually a scary feeling because you don't know if the rest of the family is just as crazy, and willing to fight over bs like that.

You shoulda told her to call them ,they coulda given you a hand.

why the men? in so triggered.

Cop shouldnt have placated the crazy old lady, reinforcing the crazy behavior.

He deescalated the situation, which was his first priority. No laws were being broken, and he's not a mental health worker.

Public disturbance. This reinforces bad behavior. Fuck that stupid old bitch. If a black dude were doing all this shit he'd be arrested.

If you shoot yourself with smaller caliber bullets, you will build up an immunity to larger calibers. #everythingonthenetistrue
