At one point during the interrogation, the investigators even threatened to have his pet Labrador Retriever, Margosha, euthanized as a stray, and brought the dog into the room so he could say goodbye. “OK? Your dog’s now gone, forget about it,” said an investigator.
Finally, after curling up with the dog on the floor, Perez broke down and confessed. He said he had stabbed his father multiple times with a pair of scissors during an altercation in which his father hit Perez over the head with a beer bottle.
Perez’s father wasn’t dead — or even missing. Thomas Sr. was at Los Angeles International Airport waiting for a flight to see his daughter in Northern California. But police didn’t immediately tell Perez.
It’s funny - I live in a neighborhood where I routinely need to call the police. They don’t show up.
Have you tried donating a few hundred thousand dollars to your local police union?
If you need to call the police and they don’t show up, but somehow you made it out of that situation, it sounds like you didn’t need the police.
Yeah - I’m not sure if the homeless woman thats being abused by my drug dealer neighbor who’s screams wake me up at 3 am is going to make it out though :)

that is my experience with both lemmy and reddit. it’s a coin toss as to whether the same message is supported positively or not each time you bring it up.
