   Hey... if you're concerned about someone, don't call the cops for a wellfare check. There's no such thing.

     @hellomiakoda Calling a local church or neighborhood watch would be better.

     Cops rarely de-escalate personal situations.

     @GreenRoc Never once have cops stepped in to my life and made anything better. Not one time.
     My mother was a cop, and that statement still holds true in light of that fact.

     They used to. Now, they just assume it is a waste of their time.

     @SpaceLifeForm Most the people I know who'd end up getting "wellfare checked" would either be having a mental health episode, or a meltdown. Either has a high liklihood of getting shot if you throw cops in to it.
