Rabban Gamaliel says cops are not your friends. First century rabbi. Nothing new under the sun.
![A screenshot from Sefaria. The English text reads "Be careful [in your dealings] with the ruling authorities because they do not befriend a person except for their own needs; they seem like friends when it is to their own interest, but they do not stand by a man in the hour of his distress."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kpal5adtv4dhn637wpigawrs/bafkreiarjlproio6a4fvwsynnddiatoqo4pwxdgg3ky6unkcdbee5cukim@jpeg)

Absolutely no notes to the Sims team who produced this official promotional image.
I do have one note for the Sim positioned out of shot, however, which is that the bottle on the nightstand should help.
