Instead of sleeping until 2pm, I woke up at 7:30 this morning to take my dog for a walk. I was making an effort 'get back on track' after the last crazy unforeseen thing happened that sucked the life out of me and left me disassociated for several days.

I was minding my own business, and two dogs come sprinting at me. I have a smaller dog and she has been attacked before, even by "friendly dogs". So, I picked her up and tried to fight back the big dogs jumping up on me trying to get to her. There was a massive man yelling at them to come but was making no effort to apologize or say anything about them being friendly.

This is when the BPD just triggered.

I told him I would kick his dogs if I had to. Then he became belligerent. He called me every gay slur in the book and said he was going to kill me, "put a cap in my ass", "punch my teeth out" etc. He then followed me, all the while his dogs were still jumping at me and I'm trying to protect my dog. So, I can't call the cops or do anything. Luckily there were people up ahead and I hysterically screamed for help. I was able to get away at this point.

I have a really bad history and a traumatic experience with cops... but I went home and called the cops. Not because I thought something would come of it, I thought maybe the cop could offer some helpful advice or I dunno... be helpful in some way?

He COMPLETELY invalidated me from the very start. I was explaining what happened with some obvious emotion in my voice and he says "I know you're emotional right now but I'm just trying to get the story" or some BS. He then basically said there is NO law that says the man can't do this. He says I should have a taken a video or something. I was being assaulted by dogs. The last thing on my mind was to film the incident, nor could I with a dog in my hands. And since I "claim" to not know the people that helped me get away there is no witness. I said "so I just can no longer feel safe walking by there anymore?". Cop said "walk somewhere else". I live on a circle and have to fucking pass his house if I want to walk. My phone was cutting out a little bit and GOD FORBID I asked this cop to repeat himself.  I SO DESPERATELY wanted to scream at this cop "FUCK YOU"!!! But I somehow managed to mutter "thank you sir" and hung up.

I'm sick of having "get over" something because of another person. Now I have to completely change my life because of this asshole. I have to find a new place to walk and somehow stop thinking about what happened over and over. I'm desperately trying to not let this affect this thousandth attempt to get back on track. This is the cycle. This entire event could have been avoided if I just left two minutes sooner...
