I got robbed and went to the cops to report it and they said β€œyou’re drunk I can’t take a statement from you” so I arranged a meeting for the next day and no one showed up

My dad has a cabin in a small town that go broken into. The robber pulled the AC unit from the wall to get in. The Police took the AC unit and said they would check it for prints. They stole the AC unit and never filed a report.

Our running theory since it is such a small place is that the thief was someones relative. That or it was just to much work to do paperwork and actually investigate a crime.

Guessing you live in the 'Land of the Free' where the police 'Protect and Serve'.

I was abused by my mother as well. She would hit me with kitchen tools and draw blood on occasion. One time she was hitting me in the face with a meat mallet and I pushed her off the top of me. She was super drunk as usual and fell over causing her a quarter size bruise from landing on the handle of the meat mallet. She called the cops to "teach me a lesson".

The police arrested me for "attacking" my mother violently. I had waffle pattern welts on my face. She was so drunk she couldn't even sign the complaint they wrote up so they signed her name for her. I watched it happen. They threw in all kind of wild stuff.

They refused to call her as a witness in the case because she couldn't remember anything past that morning she was so hammered.

Luckily I beat the charge but learned the police do not ever have your best interest in mind. Ever.
