Near the police station? Probably still took the cops 20 minutes to show up.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had to go file a report at that station once and all along the way were homeless people who clearly need psychiatric help and are a danger to everyone around them. You risk being a victim of an even more serious crime having to go report something at that station.
What’s with the videos anymore? Can’t anyone hold still and video what’s happening???
People ain't safe no where
