I honestly don't like the idea of tattle-telling to cops over every little thing. Especially in this day and age where a simple complaint could escalate.
With that said, we live in a day and age where people are scared to approach others for simple requests. Nowadays, if you ask someone down the block to lower their music they might snap at you
"I ain't lowering shit! Who do you think you are telling me what tf to do?!"
By that time, if you call the police, they'll know it's you.
For most people, if they've ever gotten snitched on they'd probably ask:
"Why didn't they just come to me?!"
But everyone thinks they're more approachable than they really are.
Where do you stand? Is it better to talk to someone or call the cops?
