Is it cold in here?:
The Pugnacious Peach, simply because of who she hangs with now and what neighborhood she works in, is likely to be one of "the usual suspects" even if her job were legal.
I do think the guy in San Francisco drew the wrong conclusion, by the way, and I should move this to DISCUSS rather than continue posting about it here.
What happens next? Faye will never betray a friend. Bubbles is a friend. Corpse Witch isn't. The pressure can be made intolerable: http://copssaylegalize.blogspot.com/2015/12/press-release-60-minutes-reports-on-use.html

"The USA" is thousands of local and regional police departments and the good ones don't get hashtags. There is selection bias in the news.
Is it cold in here?:
Too bad Faye isn't dealing with the Northampton police. They seem to be pretty mellow judging from the sledding party and other events.
If Corpse Witch is "connected" then informing on her could be a fatal move.
Unusually heavy drama here, unless the whole thing is a practical joke by Pintsize.
Emperor Norton:
While when horrible things happen, and they are horrifying, and there are definitely some issues with racial minorities and those with mental disorders being dealt a bad hand by cops at an unconscionable higher rate than for white, mentally healthy people, you have to remember that those cases are still not the majority.
They are horrific. They shouldn't happen. And they are alarming things that we need to do something about, because ONE incident of someone dying when they shouldn't is too many. What we have is way too many.
But, it is still statistically unlikely to happen in any specific circumstance. The police talk to millions of people daily, executing untold number of arrest warrants. What you see on the news is horrifying, and we should do something about it but we can't abandon our civil duty to report and help because there is a small chance something horrible will happen.
If they are questioning you. Get a damn lawyer. If they SEEM like they are questioning you, get a lawyer.
If a crime is happening. Dial 911. If someone is hurt. Dial 911.
If somehow this ends with me getting shot by the cops, They did something wrong.
If someone dies because I didn't call 911, I did something wrong.

If you're not trying to get someone arrested, and you're not yourself one of their lackies (party planner or whatnot), shut the hell up.

And if you happen to have a much better sense of smell than most people, don't say anything to the cops anyways. They'll look at you like you're the one who did it.
Never say anything more than you're asked. They'll try to make you a suspect. Because they have to pin the crime on someone, and God forbid they investigate the trouble-maker tenant who happened to run off all of the other residents by being a massive pain in the ass.
