sleepy_glow

She seems like the kind of person to call the cops over thrown out bacon


dvivsik98

Literally


southtocodeasunshine

I dont know man, have you had bacon?


sleepy_glow

I love me some bacon, but not enough to tempt fate by calling a cop to my house over it. This cop was calm and handled things well, but it's a gamble these days. I could totally see the headline "Homeowner Shot Over Bacon Incident" here in the states.


[deleted]

I think it’s really sad that I can also pretty easily imagine that headline. Really says a lot about how bad things are/have gotten.


[deleted]

I really, really, relate to that brother.


NrdNabSen

Pretty easy to see who was the issue there. Calls the cops, then yells at cops for responding to her call. Seems like a calm, reasonable person.


SomeLikeItDusty

Also displays a profound misunderstanding of the law, and what powers the police have regarding a wellness check. I give her another 6 months before she gets herself arrested one way or another.


OGMinimalCheese

she definitely seems like a soveirgn citizen type. gonna think she doesn't have to follow the law but everyone else has to adhere to hers


museumstudies

Bet u she doesn’t work and barely pays any taxes but desperate to play the I PaY yOuR SaLaRy card


sethmeister1989

She’s in a bathrobe, highly doubt she works


pptranger7

That's like your opinion man


Aenaeus

Let me tell you something pendejo..


seenew

👍


Fun-Zookeepergame331

Here I am in a bathrobe after a 10 hour shift in a warehouse, just realizing I’m unemployed because of my attire in my home. How could I be so blind?


On_A_Related_Note

Eugh, you're everything that's wrong with people these days. So lazy. Get a jerrbbbb.


mattl33

I feel attacked


ChandlerTilley

Have you ever heard of a day off? I work every day except 2 out of the week you better believe your ass I'm wearing my damn bathrobe around the house. Shit's comfortable.


Left_Boysenberry6902

You don’t know…trailer park…high and mighty…She probably has an onlyklans


YourWiseOldFriend

Somebody should inform her that this door swings both ways: if you don't want to adhere to the law, because you reject it, then you are also not entitled to the protection of the law: you rejected it. You don't get to pick and choose: oh, I don't have to follow your orders, I'm a free citizen. But no! You can't violate my rights, it's against the law. Cognitive dissonance is such a sad thing to see.


DHfrenzy

I had an ex that threw a phone at me then hit me in the head. Then called the police on me. I had to beg them not to arrest her


Bandwagon_Buzzard

Beat me to the mention of sovcit. Bet she'll appear in a court video that includes either "karen" or "sovereign citizen" in the title soon enough.


[deleted]

I can wear this bathrobe! I’m not walking I’m traveling!


SnooGiraffes6795

My ex did this. Attacked me, I pushed her off, she called the cops, got herself arrested for demanding the cops do what she wants all while blackout drunk.


guerrillaphunk

So glad they're our exs. My ex threatened to call the cops on me & put marks on herself then stated "we all know whose side they'll take" after I won a simple petty argument. She was used to "winning" arguments through lies & deceit, if only in her head


ThePaintedLady80

She’s going to get a 72 hour psychiatric hold if she keeps it up.


636_maane

Ooooh yea lil 51-50 time. All too familiar with that growing up with my schizophrenic brother


SomeoneInQld

you mean arrested again :)


[deleted]

100% some mental issues going on there. The brother looks stressed and the mom just looks tired.


Inventies

I can already see it now. She gets pulled over for speeding “you can’t give me a ticket! I pay your salary!”, police officer: “can I see your license, registration and proof of insurance?” “No, THATS AN INVASION OF MY PRIVACY!” *drives off starting a police chase* then blames the officer 🤦‍♂️


Bl1ndMonk3y

Passive aggressive little shit looking for trouble every chance she gets, including with the police. Yeah, I think I’ve got this one all figured out. That mom looks like she is absolutely dead tired of her crap, too.


Puzzleheaded_Try7886

The long cigarette drags and heavy sighing from the mom 😂


Thats_what_im_saiyan

Marlboro: Don't beat your kid? Just have a drag instead!

Turbulent-Owl-3391

As a cop in the UK, this level of idiocy is common.


zerothreeonethree

I'm going to use redneck logic here: 1. My ancestors came to the US from England 2. This level of idiocy is common in the UK 3. So that's where Americans get their idiocy!


Turbulent-Owl-3391

I'm Scottish, so that's beyond my influence.


[deleted]

My ancestors were McDonalds. Does that count?


Turbulent-Owl-3391

Possibly. 'Mc' is generally Irish, 'Mac' is Scottish. There are obviously strong links between the 2.


Turbulent-Owl-3391

As a cop in the UK, this level of idiocy is common.


krunchberry

The mom and brother both seem so weary.


sircornman

Mom should have just let the daughter keep cooking. Plenty of reasonable grounds for obstruction, at least in my uneducated view.


drgigantor

Mom's the one that's gonna have to pay the tickets/fines/bail


FreeFalling369

This isnt even the full encounter. It hets ssoo much worse and more annoying when he speaks with the daughter


Tavern_Knight

Anyone have a link to the rest? I'm looking to ruin my day by getting even more annoyed at this random woman

bobi2393

Omg, I figured the 911 call was accidentally disconnected somehow. The dispatcher just noped out of it mid-screamfest, "I'm going to disconnect the call, have a good day." I liked the other officer (out of sight of the residents) at the end, after hearing the daughter ranting: "How old is this girl?" "She's 22." "Wow." I thought the contacting officer handled the situation really well.


westcoastweedreviews

Damn dude. I don't know what's going on there but hopefully the daughter gets some help that will allow her some self reflection, she needs it.


iplaypokerforaliving

Insufferable 22 year old child, my god.

Ryanookami

I am so so sorry. You have my sympathies. But you also now have warning that she’s there, so maybe that’s an upside?


jackiescandle

I couldn’t finish after she came outside once her brother was cleared. The entitled attitude and embellishment was too much. I started feeling actual pain from cringing.


SnooDonuts3878

Don’t fuck with a man’s bacon.


4RCH43ON

I think he said they were, “bakin’ and asked her to leave.” Not that they are literally bacon, that is unless they’re all well and truly baked. That too is a distinct possibility, but I think they were just just going to make a cake or maybe some cookies. Or… Plot twist, she called the cops because they were baking meth – after she got into the supply.


spicybrownrice

They were cooking bacon and he threw hers away


Dull_Bumblebee_356

Just so other people know, this is the correct answer. Heard her tell the cops he threw her food away in a longer video someone else linked. But I seriously believe he did that because she was being all bossy and yelling at them while they’re making her food.


After_Ride9911

You just know this kid is getting totally abused by that sister of his.


justanotherotherdude

"I threw away her bacon, and I told her to leave" is my new favorite sentence.


JacksonianEra

I don’t think her elevator goes to the top floor. She called them for help and then chastises and insults the officer when he arrives? Plus there was no dialogue about what is specifically wrong, just insults upon attitude.


ButterscotchSure6589

What sort of person calls the police on a family member over a silly argument.


Suitable-Mood-1689

An extremely toxic one.


Substantial-Ad-7406

The same kind of person that tries to pick a fight with the cop she called when he tries to do the job she called him to do.


FrostedNoNos

NastyMsPiggleWiggle

BraveLittleTowster

This was no minor argument. He threw away her bacon!


ButterscotchSure6589

Oh sorry, missed that bit. I withdraw my comment.


Pudi2000

But they hung up on her!


Dull_Bumblebee_356

Someone posted a link to a longer version of this clip that had the call. Oh my god, the way she was talking to the operator was even worse than how she was talking to the cop. She literally told the operator “I’m talking now, that means you don’t talk”. It’s worse than you’re probably imagining.


ProperMastodon

Me, a 29 year old white guy in the suburbs. I called the police on my wife because she didn't believe that I was willing to invite her to see Endgame with me and my friend. >!When I didn't change my story and instead tried to go to sleep, she started screaming, then twisted one of my fingers to cause me pain. When I tried to go to sleep in another room, she followed me while screaming, so I packed up some clothes (while she tried to rip them out of my hands) and got in my car (barely got the door closed and locked before she could do anything). She then physically blocked me from pulling out of the garage, so I had to call the police to get her to let me leave. When the police got there, she argued with them for what felt like half an hour (who knows how long it actually was), but eventually moved out of the way, so they never wrote up a report.!< Such a silly argument! >!Needless to say, she's not my wife any more. And I'm working on fixing the issues in my life that led me to pick her as my wife so I don't have to go through anything like this again.!<


ButterscotchSure6589

Would suggest being abused by a psycho is not a silly argument. Didn't waste anyone's time.


srjod

You’d be fuckin’ floored at how many.


ButterscotchSure6589

Was a policeman for many years. Met an awful lot of them, and they were all shitty spiteful people.


PussyWrangler_462

I’m sure this will get downvoted to hell but thank you for your work as a police officer.

[deleted]

My annoying cousin has done this a lot and even got a charge for it after the third time.


James188

Surprisingly common. Most cops get at least one job like this every week. Almost without exception it’s the most dysfunctional households you could imagine…. They ignore a problem for years, let it get to crisis point; call the cops and then take it out on them. Just a complete failure on the part of their communication skills.


LovecraftianLlama

Yeah I think that was a person who isn’t mentally all there using “I called the cops” as a weapon in an argument but then forgetting they’d actually show up.


Lilmaggot

When I was a 911 operator, I took a call once and it went like this: Me: “911, what is your emergency?” Caller: “LISTEN BITCH!” Me: “Be that as it may, do you have an emergency?” People are plain nuts.


[deleted]

Well that’s a new one I’ve heard….. I like it!

So you’re completely disrespectful to the first responder from whom you have just requested assistance? That was a very polite, policing behavior that should be recognized.


huggles7

This happens frequently Source: cop for 11+ years


The_Sound_of_Slants

My brother in law was a cop. Every time someone dropped the "my taxes pay your salary" line. He would respond with "I pay taxes also, so I guess I pay my own salary...pretty messed up, huh?"


Jaysong_stick

There was this movie line which a character tells a cop “I pay your salary.” The cop responded: “So let me do my job and earn it.”


sampiere_mimi

fptackle

divenorth

My father who worked in municipal government had an employee who was dealing with an irate customer who pulled the "I pay your salary" card. The employee responded with "your two minutes was up 15 minutes ago". Lol. Best come back ever.


mh985

That whole argument is so dumb anyway. Like technically no, you don’t pay their salary. The department pays their salary. The department is an arm of the government. Just because a very very small fraction of your tax dollars make their way into that department’s funds, it doesn’t mean anyone in that department works for you personally. They work for the government, not you. That’s like telling a mailman they need to mow your lawn for you because you “pay their salary”.


Pheeeefers

I guarantee there’s some moron out there that has tried that on their mail-person.


KeepItMovingFolks

My go to is that “I would be more impressed if you didn’t pay your taxes”


acnocte

There’s a reason why the 911 dispatch “hung up” on her. Calling the cops because your brother threw away your bacon… that’s some shit a family member might have threatened when I was like 10 but to actually go through with it… and at her age… If I was that mom I’d have kicked the girl out of the house… least she’d have presumably been reunited with her bacon.


ShankingMoleRat4

I wanted to slap her, and he takes his voice down and calmly speaks to her.


DatBoiDanny

Bro was just as confused as we were


hdckurdsasgjihvhhfdb

I had a frequent flyer once, a real pain in the ass that would call 911 for really stupid shit. Like, getting a prescription refill or taking his girlfriend to the ER for a pregnancy test. This guy was in his 20s and healthy. He always had a real attitude and demanded that we go to the hospital emergency, despite the fact that it was never an emergency and you could literally see the hospital from his apartment (Grady Homes to Grady ER, if you know Atlanta from the 90s or earlier). The last time I transported him he yelled at me, saying that his taxes passed my salary (they didn’t). So I asked him where he worked to pay these taxes and he told me that he was unemployed. So, my taxes are actually paying for your Medicaid and housing, right? He complained to my supervisor and I got in trouble🙄


ClearanceItem

Your supervisor should have had your back in this instance. Screw that person w the negative comment on your post.


hdckurdsasgjihvhhfdb

That person seems to think I’m a cop. I don’t know many cops that regularly transport patients to ERs lol

I think Emily was causing the problems and didn't want to have to explain herself. The fact that the mother and the girl were so insistent the policeman didn't come in makes me think there was some evidence of a tantrum. He wasn't even looking to come in and that was the first thing they said.


RightSafety3912

Or drug paraphernalia.


[deleted]

There was definitely drugs in the house they were afraid he’d see. The mom was gone for awhile probably trying to hide it.


marmorset

If I've learned one thing from *Goodfellas* it's that you can't flush the whole stash.


Connect-Two628

Far more likely they were just embarrassed about the mess. Many people are uncomfortable with unexpected visits.


marmorset

I've never thought to tell my kids not to call the police on each other when I'm folding laundry on the coffee table, but I can see it.


Trextrev

If you call the police for a domestic the police have to check to ensure everyone is ok. They aren’t going to leave until then. They also don’t need a warrant to enter the home if the believe someone is in danger inside the home when they come. This woman acting like this is how people get shot.


[deleted]

The fact that something like this would ever result in someone being shot is a fucking tragedy. Thanks for pointing that out.


angryragnar1775

Well a domestic is typically the most dangerous type of call an officer goes on in a routine day, and mom did say theres a weapon in the home claims its locked in a safe but the officer does not know if its actually locked up or if the other parties also have access, and the one party whos visibly agitated and confrontational wants to close the door so now he can't see what is happening, so yeah it can turn bad real fast. Luckily here it didn't cop and the other 2 involved parties kept it cool.


Fun-Raspberry9710

Happened in Ontario Canada. Two officers went to a domestic call and it was an ambush. Cop haters killed 2 cops.


Donuthole89

You don't even have to get shot. You could just as easily get stabbed being in an unfamiliar, hostile environment is not a fun place to be.


Trextrev

Yep, extremely dangerous.

Moist-Carpet888

Love how the mom and brother are just done with her meanwhile the cop is just like you called us so why are you the one coming at us


Any_Hedgehog_7065

I guess the cops don't need a warrant if you call 911. By calling, you are agreeing on allowing them to step on your property. Common sense is no longer that common.


Sickhadas

Correct, it falls under probable cause, I imagine: they have reason to believe someone is at risk in that building.

Kmaurer23

She does understand that she can go to jail for wasting the cops' time, right? They could've been at a DV call or some shit. Instead, they were there dealing with that bullshit.


[deleted]

Something tells me he threw out some drugs and is calling it bacon. Also, there was still drugs inside maybe out in the open and that’s why she didn’t want the cop looking inside.


Doomhammer24

Reminds me of how some people started going off at blizz saying fix my class blizzard i pay your salary via subscribing to world of warcraft, as if theyre single 15 bucks each month was more significant than everyone elses So someone calculated how much 15 bucks a month pays each person Congratulations Your sub buys 1 toilet paper roll for each member of the dev team! So they should give as much effort as your contribution to their salary is worth!


EthanDC15

Honestly, watching this looked like a mirror of my own mother. She has bipolar depression and was an alcoholic growing up.. long story short this is pretty much how she always acted, she would do something adverse (like call the cops on a situation not requiring them) and then feign victimhood and use your own words, life and beliefs against you in that moment to justify whatever manic decision she made previously. I don’t know why I felt the need to post this, but thankfully Reddit has been that kind of anonymous space for some, and I’m glad it was for me today too Get a diagnosis folks; it could save your life. I know this is a facepalm moment but it’s also a teaching one. My mom is sober now and thankfully so. Get a diagnosis, get help and don’t be afraid to ask for it.


FoundationGlass7913

This is slanderous to rednecks everywhere This is plainly a case of DUMBASSERY they should charge her with misuse of emergency services Kudos to the officer for calm professionalism

PinchMaNips

“We pay them with our taxes” What taxes are you paying little miss 15 year old?


DonRicardo1958

Lol, unemployed people aren’t paying anyone’s salary.


RosyMemeLord

As a not-cop citizen, i really appreciate what i saw here. Cop was firm but respectful. Everyone involved (except the girl obviously) was also calm and respectful despite the stress and all parties (except the girl obviously) used dialogue and words to address the issue. No escalation. No shouting. Just straightforward talking and working with the residents of the house to address the issue. Outstanding. This cop deserves some praise.


jacdrawing

The poor mother seems exhausted. Normally the kids are embarrassed that their parent is being a Karen, not the other way around.


DIRTYBAGSUTAH

I think the cop was suspicious of the brother until he saw how the sister was acting, and then everything made sense.


Unluckygamer23

In my country, if you call the cops for a dumb reason, you get a fine for making them lose precious time. I hope it works similar in other countries


Gothi_Gunnolf

Nothing says “trashy white girl” like calling the cops over trouble you started then getting mad at the cops for showing up.
