Five OH

There are varying opinions of the police here at HC. The spectrum probably extends from complete and utter asshole to mild asshole. That's a lot of range to choose from. If you are an RA the cops are NOT your friend. They are not helpful and they certainly don't give a fuck.

In certain situations, RAs must call the po-po. One would be a fight or physical altercation of any kind. When they do show up (and believe me, they take their time so the fight is absolutely over) they are usually sauntering in with some smug look on their face practically giddy with shirking their work. Then they might ask five or six completely useless questions (i.e. "Is he actually a faggot?") and then leave. Thanks a fucking lot.

Other times, cops will storm the building on any sort of call. They are usually there on sketchy anonymous tips of pissed-off ex's or annoyed neighbors. Then, since they are not allowed to enter any rooms, they try and force RAs to open doors for them. (We are totally not allowed to do that, unless there is a signed warrant) I cannot count the number of kids I know that have had cops scream in their faces saying things like, "You are enabling abuse, he hits her!!" or "They're ruining lives with that dope they're selling" or my personal favorite "Do you think you can interfere in police business!?". Like they are even real police. Good try, pal.

Maybe there are good cops around, and maybe there are armfulls of people who have had good experiences with them, but I haven't met them and I hope I never do. They are probably full of shit. One thing the general public might want to know is that the campus five oh have been heavily lobbying to be allowed to tote guns. Power-mad, middle-aged crazies ready to fire at the slightest provocation in a area only populated with inebriated adolescents. This will end well.
