Drunks practically at your doorstep, sad fact of small villages

Sad, mad, loud, obnoxious young neighbor drunks mad at the world and everyone around them is not something I ever want to endure as I am trying to relax after a long day at work, yet this seems to be something I have to deal with yet again. In the past I have tried contacting the State Troopers with no response whatsoever. Russian Mission, like many other villages is a local option dry village, but every so often there are people who either buy bootleg alcohol or make home brew. Believe me it is nothing like the portrayal of people "partying the night away" that one sees on television where everyone is happy and relaxing. Most of the time they either end up sad and crying or mad and bitching away at anyone and everyone they see, both scenarios very loudly. Unlike the city where someone is able to take them away or one can walk away from the scene, in the village there is no where to go to and here in Russian Mission we do not have any peace officers -VPSO/VPO since our last one committed suicide. We end in a tragic cycle where gradually the drinking gets worse and worse, then a tragic death, then a period of relative quiet then gradually the drinking gets worse and worse...escalates, then another death. Sadly most do not learn from the previous tragedies..
