The Sicilian Mafia apparently began as kind of a pseudo police force.
Quote:
In countryside towns that lacked formal constabulary, local elites responded to banditry by recruiting young men into "companies-at-arms" to hunt down thieves and negotiate the return of stolen property, in exchange for a pardon for the thieves and a fee from the victims.[30] These companies-at-arms were often made up of former bandits and criminals, usually the most skilled and violent of them.[28] This saved communities the trouble of training their own policemen, but it may have made the companies-at-arms more inclined to collude with their former brethren rather than destroy them.[28] Scholars such as Salvatore Lupo have identified these groups as "proto-Mafia".

If anyone came into this house the dogs would be pinning them against the door and there would end up being holes in all of our walls.

I've had a few run ins with cops, and all of those times went smoothly except for the time I mentioned in this thread, which wasn't really a bad encounter..he was just a lazy fucker is all. None of them showed any sign of trying to be in a dominant position over me. It's easy to believe that most cops are terrible people until you start to realize that you barely hear about any of the good things cops do for people and always hear about the bad.

I feel like not taking any of your advice is generally better for me in the long run. After all, you were being exactly what you just called me when you were cheering after some pyscho killed 5 cops who were just chilling at a BLM march. Stop being an apologist for criminals, Koods.

Police are a lot different with someone that has a conviction, verses people never been caught. Even if the people without convictions are bigger dirtball criminals. I think it has to do with public perception and that's about all police have.

Oh I know their are plenty of good cops, just like there are plenty of good people forced into lives of crime for various reasons.
I too have been overall lucky when it comes to cops, barely had to deal with them at all really thankfully.
Years ago my mom got busted for growing cannabis without a card and the cops just knocked on our door. I was reading in the living room and my mom answered and they were pretty polite and didn't just force their way in. Then they slowly took a look around, maybe they held themselves back becouse I was pretty young and was sitting out reading but they could have been much much worse.
At the same time I have known people who's dogs were shot in the face by cops and racial profiling is incredibly common in many places...
One day I watched like 5-10+ cops drag a drunk homeless man off a bus... They literally had him completely surrounded and like 4-6 of them hauled him off while the rest stood by watching. They may just be doing their job but many seem to love harassing people whenever they get the chance. This guy was publicly shitfaced and stumbling all over but you don't need 10 fucking cops to deal with 1 homeless guy.
-------------------- Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

I somewhat witnessed cops put a drunk man in a scalding hot shower. I was in the bubble and it didn't look good. They do all sorts of shit like give wedgies and humiliate people. They do things that people cry about the prison in Guantanamo doing to suspected terrorists. It's fairly common for the thugs in uniform to be thugs. Sometimes they are charitable.
My Uncle was a cop. Second in command of the cities police and could of been chief. He didn't want to be fired by the mayor so he stayed second. He was an asshole too. He let a swim coach get off with rapping a 6 or 7 year old. All cause 6 or 7 year olds don't know what happened.
My mom also dated a cop. He didn't give two shits about child abuse.

If you guys only knew how corrupt the police are in my town..
I have stories for days about how these assholes abuse their power
It was funny there was 3 cops on duty all sitting in a breakfast diner being lazy fucks eating and i took a picture of them and put it on facebook..well i got a few apologist saying they were going to rat me out and how i was wrong for doing it..
A few weeks later i had a run in with a cop and he told me how he saw the picture..he goes "to be honest i thought it was funny..i hate those guys"
I also had a conversation with a cop and i mentioned LSD..he goes "its awesome isnt it?"
then one time I was at the police station after getting arrested and a power hungry cop(the cop who just got fired for beating up his 14 year old neighbor) goes "We are the elite in this town, david" and i go "no, you actually arent" then he says "then who is" so i say "the judge". He looks at me and nods his head saying "not a bad point'
I also have seen cops walk into known gambling spots with briefcases at 3 in the morning. I have been searched illegally many times along with many other things

I hardly knew any corruption locally but heard rumors:
Cops getting together once a month to party with evidence not reported
Cops banging known local prositutes
A local cop with a crack baby son
A deputy that gives tips to friends
A group of deputies who got drunk and drove causing a bad wreck with a civilian. That was covered up
Payoffs by people that owned a restaurant and flew in drugs to the local airport

A group of kids just randomly came into your house and robbed your family at gunpoint??
Sounds like we're missing some info here...
Why do you think your home was targeted?
Why did the police think this was drug related??

Probably is drug related. Don't smell, don't tell, don't sell. Don't show, hint or brag either. People get jealous as fuck about anything. That is how things get stolen or a dime dropped.

Well if this dude got his entirely family robbed and basically traumatized over some petty drug shit, he's a fucking scumbag.

I smoked some dudes from the hood once. It was some home grown that had major oh problems. Two dudes said it was the best shot they ever smoked. Not long later but some time, heard they were gonna break into my place.
Relationships bass on drugs or crime are bad news. Like inviting some bar scag back to your place to meet your wife and kids.
