The metro police in my area do some pretty shady shit, such as vehicular man-slaughter because they're drinking and speeding on the job. Or showing up 30 minutes after a group of robbers shot up a neighborhood then failed to investigate the scene and some kid bled to death (the officers later tried to cover it up)
But I can't hate em, cause when you step out of the lower-middle class area into the thriving cultural center known as Broad Ripple the police don't fuck with you.
On 33rd and Washington which is a relatively poor neighborhood they'll jack your shit so quick if you got a lil alcohol on your breath or are looking suspicious, they'll pop 4-5 squad cars on you
But on 64th and College the heart of hipster city you can walk out of the bar there with an open container look over at a police officer and commit public urination without any repercussion, as the business's and community in that area pay the police to not fuck with their patrons and cause drama, as cracking down on public intox in the B-ripp area would slow business down 10 fold.
