"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

---

So...this is pretty abnormal for me to make (actually the first comic I've ever made hehe) but this is something that had been gnawing at my brain for the past week

A week ago, cops showed up at my door. They were responding to a violent call and some how mixed up the address they were called to go to...with mine. How they managed to confuse 109 with 142 (same street, very different apartment complex), well your guess is as good as mine.

I'm hard of hearing, I had been vacuuming the floors while my partner was at work with headphones in, I couldn't hear a single thing.

It took them knocking on my door three separate times before I knew they were there - and even then I only knew because my cat came running into the room I was in scared and trying to hide.

While good cops do exist as a general rule I've never trusted the police, I was fucking terrified even though I assume I hid it well.

I was the one who had to correct them meanwhile I was being stared down by three men much larger than me, one of which was staring at my back from my back window, and who knows how many backup across the parking lot in clear view.

I got lucky, but the odds I could've become another statistic that day are not lost on me.

I know there are people out there that might think my anxiety is overblown, that it was "Just a Mistake" but I don't fucking care because I'm not okay and I don't feel safe in my own home.


Regardless, I'm trying to move on 'cause I have to...I just felt the need to make this as a way to vent and maybe finally get this out of my head for a while and hopefully, maybe, spreading awareness at the same time idk
