No shit it's who we call...it's their job to "protect and serve."
Not to "fuck with and harass."
Cops in Vegas treat the undesirables quite horribly here.
They've got all kinds of laws on the books designed to enable them to fuck with someone for just about any reason.
They had a big write up the other day about collusion between the casino owners, security, police departments , gaming authority and judges in how they handle the cases that involve what they call "advantage gamblers."
Advantage gamblers are people who count cards, or take advantage of slot machines that are faulty and maybe paying out more often than they should.
There is nothing illegal about it, other than their treatment of these people.
People are being detained against their will for no crimes, threatened with physical harm, and sometimes all in the view of the police and gaming authoritiy officials.
One individual found a $1 slot machine that was paying off like a $100 slot machine and made over $23K.
They never stopped him or anything.
He returns the next day, is grabbed by security as he tries to leave, he starts screaming for someone to call the police....so guess what...since he didn't even do anything the cops arrest him on "disturbing the peace."
That was the only charge brought up.
Now I'm not saying I don't understand why some cop might be an asshole...if a cop tries to stop you and you run don't complain if you get shot or beat up.
But if a cop stops you and has no evidence of a crime and only suspects you of something then by god he better handle the situation professionaly as long as you comply with all his requests and don't give the man shit.
