Weighing the risks of involving biased police against against other potentially risky situation is indeed a part of using extreme caution and discernment when dealing with police.
So, I'm not sure what you're going on about.
I am going on about you should not exaggerate the danger of dealing with even biased police when weighing involving the police to deal with dangerous situations against dealing with dangerous situations without the police.
I'm not exaggerating anything.
I've never advised anyone to not call the police if they fear for lives or safety. Only to use extreme caution and discernment when dealing with them.
Yes...even if they're requesting for assistance. That's where the discernment/judgement comes in.
Requesting police intervention often results in Blacks treated as perps--whether they're the ones who requested help or not. I've seen it happen more times than I can count and have experienced it firsthand myself. If the wrong cops show up, a law-abiding innocent Black person can easily find themselves with their face in pavement or caught up in the legal system wondering how in the hell they got there.
That's something black folks have to take into account when requesting police assistance. It can go South with a mind-boggling swiftness if you're not very, very, very careful. You've got to decide if it's worth it; Especially if the concern or incident at hand could be reasonably addressed through other means.
Anyhow--I stand by the advice in my earlier post.
If you choose to read more into it than what I actually wrote, that's on you.
