somebody disagrees with me, therefore their opinion must be invalidated, and I'm going to attempt to do so by claiming they live in the suburbs whether they do or not

>And yes, using deadly force, even in that situation of it was correct, is a huge problem.
You know how I know you don't work in a setting that might get dangerous?

Imagine the city in such a state of lawlessness that the PPA is publicly applauded for doing their job lol

Cops get to go home to their families when their shift ends.
There's a fuck ton of issues with policing, but using deadly force when faced with somebody coming at them with a knife, for example, is not one of them.

>I remember one time it involved my mom getting hit in the back with a pan and the tenant arrested.
Why do people suck? Like, I get that life situations can be a disaster. But if you don't pay rent and the evictions process unfolds over the course of months, why would anybody blame the landlord?

Does corruption get easier to track down than this? It's literally a one step connection lol.
It's like playing connect the dots, and the goal object is a straight line.

I believe an actual weapon is stronger, so Ima continue to just chill. I won't step in unless the dickhead starts getting physically aggressive.

Action is the one thing I'm looking to avoid.

I mean, broad enforcement just because the law exists is silly. There are some stupid fucking laws out there that shouldn't be enforced.
It's the why behind the lack of enforcement that bothers me. Don't enforce something important because offenders are disproportionately poor (i.e. black)? Nah, that's not good, usually there's victim(s) for every offense. When all you look at is the color of the skin of the offender you're ignoring the rights to not be victimized.
Even for something as simple as littering. If poor people are more likely to litter, that doesn't change the fact that the rest of us deserve to be able to live in a clean environment. The color of the person littering is completely irrelevant to the people in the neighborhood (again regardless of color), we just want it to stop. You can say the same for pretty much every nuisance in the city.

>It's just frustrating that everything eventually boils down to people saying "Landlords are scum" to everything we do.
If I were a landlord I'd try to discriminate based on how much reddit/Twitter the tenant uses. The echo chambers really affect people IRL
