    That’s how it works in communities that don’t trust cops, too. Our old folks (our village elders) keep an eye on things and make sure we stay safe all across the world. I mean if you ask me, its something we should lean into and embrace. Fuck a neighborhood watch association. We don’t need to snitch to cops. We already can keep our neighborhoods safe without them

      Neighbors who want to keep the community safe are great. Nosy neighbors are a whole different bag

    I dated a chick whose brother was a cop in Canada. They had a good nickname for these old ladies, but I can’t remember what it was…
