That's why they form a gang, because the only way they can feel strong is if they outnumber you.

That's why it takes fifteen fucking cops to "deal with" a single homeless person in a public park who isn't bothering anybody.

If they do that during the day, with enough people around, people will whip out their phones to record the cops and the cops will give up and leave and stop harassing.

If they do it during the evening, and there's not very many people around, and only one person whips out their phone.... The cops will arrest the person who whipped out their phone, too, because they outnumber them.
