I’ve seen it a hundred times on a hundred forums. They ignore it as if nobody else will pick up on the issue. They will use this time to come up with a new mental gymnastics routine and do a back-flip with their psyches to avoid breaking their coloured glasses. Then once another poster calls them out (your previous post) they will trot into the thread and give some tired lame-o excuse like " I wasn’t avoiding the thread; unlike X I have a life outside of these forums" often followed by a wall of poorly formatted, almost unintelligible nonsense (something Peter is already known for) that they have been writing for the past X days but want you to think that they just got to the thread and wrote the reply; you know, even though they normally post 50x a day they conveniently find that “life outside the forums”.
The wall of text will proceed to first lecture the previous poster’s audacity for noticing reality and challenging their sacred cows. It will describe how either a)the issue is a non-issue, b)you are mean/racist/sexist/*ist for bringing up the issue, c)You are “oversimplifying” the issue or d)they will deflect, ad hom, strawman, scapegoat or any number of other tactics to try and twist the situation or knock the conversation off-track and of course all of this is usually followed by a disqualifying statement like “they weren’t the ‘tru’ XYZ anyways” and just for icing on top will often leave it off with a complete reversal of all of the previous by making some weak justification for the violent act like “if Trump keeps X then Y will happen”. And just for zazz some of them will then obliterate any semblance of credibility they may have had by signing off with something like “BLACK LIVES MATTER!” or “TURTLE ISLAND!” (though Peter usually at least avoids this one).
Of course, on the off chance a post like this one appears in the thread they will usually reply with some smart-arsed one-liner designed to ridicule the poster for noticing the peurile and facile trend or pick out a buzzword from the post to use as a weapon and take the attention away from them.

On topic, the usual reason to call the police is to bring armed and potentially violent people to your aid. The whole reason you call them to “make you safe” is because they have guns and other weapons and are allowed to use force. It is mind blowing that people would want to strip themselves and others of this ability out of some uninformed or deluded desire to make themselves safe against evil or untrustworthy individuals and objects, yet understand this basic reality and would be the first to try to use the jackboots against you. Projection 101.
