I don’t see why they say to let them know when people drink and drive my neighbors do it all the time and even with kids in the car they dint care no matter how many times you tell the police they only care when it’s convenient for them or are forced to.do.something about it or why is there even an ordinace about people’s dog poop when the cops said they dint enforce anything about dog poop so I’m jus guessing if you live in an apartment they won’t say nothing or do anything so who do we turn to for help.with that when they’re related to the landlord nd the landlord realator won’t do nothing to help cause it’s their family
well people can threaten you for cameras in your own home the courts don’t like to give protection to people that need it they jus let the drunks beat each other and the kids get to witness it bur who cares right why do we even have courts or family services when yall don’t really care about what’s in plain sight but soon as something bad happens then you wanna pretend to care or do something but yall don’t care if the boyfriend beats the kids as long as the drunk mother is happy way to go nebraska shows you really care lol
wow that guy gets no prison time for escape these judges pressure taking it easy on people may as well jus let him out this justice system is a failure they’ll prolly let child molesters and sex offenders live right next to the schools well I mean besides the ones they already do way to go scottsbluff courts you really show these people the law is serious
seems it’s just a joke may as well jus let everybody free makes sense though 🤔
