How would you feel if someone moved next to your residence and you found out they're a cop? Would you move away? Or try to get on their good side? Or something else?

    My grandmother lived next to cop. You don’t want to live next to a cop. They think they’re the authority over EVERYTHING. He built his fence three feet into her yard. What an asshole, thinking he’d run over a 90 year old lady. We forced him to move it.

    Helped my cop neighbor move his gun safe into his house. We mostly keep to ourselves but I’d rather him on my side in a crisis.

      You left your fingerprints/DNA on the gun safe… 😱

      I watch too many tv to know what’s coming, he’s a dirty one and he’s gonna frame you for something.

    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.

    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

          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.

        No he/she probably don’t. In Germany, the pigs wallow in their own shit and cover each other.

    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

    Would you move away?

    how many people can afford to just “move away” if they don’t like their neighbors?

    I lived a couple houses down from a cop.

    His whole family were dickish Karen types and got the annual block party shut down. Their house was regularly egged and TPd until they moved. I may or may not have been involved in some of those eggings.

    Nothing. Not even talk to them. Being cordially distant.
