Overdosing is not a crime, it's not even the job of the Police to help, and possession of drugs is being ignored by most forces because an arrest takes two officers off frontline services for 4 hours, when it will most likely result in a caution.

Why are you making excuses like this? Demand better from the people that would hold authority over you.

They don't have "authority over you" unless you've committed a crime.

Here, if the cop sees someone overdosing, they immediately call the ambulance, not walk by and do nothing.

Also if someone is overdosing, they are probably possessing.

People should do it at home or somewhere else, not on the streets. I don't care if someone is consuming inside their home.

>Here, if the cop sees someone overdosing, they immediately call the ambulance, not walk by and do nothing.

This unevidenced claim is probably nonsense in any case, no police officer would simply walk by. They may very well walk by and talk into their radio to summon the right kind of help, or they may be responding to a higher priority call.

Just because your mate Bob claims they saw something, doesn't mean Bob had any real idea what was going on.

It's like the old saw about a window blind for a hospital ward costing £200, when you can buy one for £20 elsewhere. Thing is the one for £20 doesn't come with a specialised coating that eliminates bacterial or viral spread, or with a bloke that installs it according to the relevant safety regulations, or the supervisor who certifies the installation. It certainly doesn't come with a number you can call to fix the blind if there's a problem with it that includes on site service.

I saw it on video (inb4 deepfake), I did not hear it from Bob. So yeah, the cop in London did just simply walk by and did nothing. I can give you the video if you so want.

Go ahead and post.

You're right! Your anecdote is much better than theirs. You won me over at least.

Lmao. Hey, I have it on video. I will post it if he really wants it.

> no police officer would simply walk by

You and I have very different experiences with police officers. Police Officers may walk by someone overdosing is hardly a claim that needs any evidence in my experience because it's so widely understood to be true.

Wait, where's "here"? You just said you'd seen the police do nothing about somebody overdosing - and now you're saying that's exactly what they never do, where you are. Wherever that is.

I said "Here, if the cop sees someone overdosing, they immediately call the ambulance".

"Here" being "Hungary".

> Again, what is the point exactly? Can anyone tell me?

To haras and punish people disagreeing with the ruling class?

Out of curiosity exactly who is this ruling class?

Let's say those people for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partygate

The Conservatives are out of power. They were defeated in the last election.

You mean idiots who went to private schools then?

You can just say it.

The point of the police state is not to prevent crime, but to silence dissent and foster cooperation with whatever government propaganda and initiatives are popular at the time.

In fact, often defeating crime is bad for this purpose. If you want to maintain a propaganda machine of an enemy within, you need crime. You might even, say, give drugs to those communities. Looking at you, CIA.

One doesn't do drugs. One consumes or sells them.

Next time do HN better :)
