You call the police reporting that you're being assaulted. They will show up. The assault will stop. Now, I agree they might just tell people off with no arrest

You call the police reporting that you're being assaulted. They will show up. The assault will stop. Now, I agree they might just tell people off with no arrest but that really demands on mood, behaviour of people, location, and indeed damages to property.
- ceejayoz 2y agoI had something that looked somewhat explosive put in my mailbox. I live in a well off suburb. Cops took two hours to arrive. For a squirt gunning? They aren’t gonna do shit.
- mytailorisrich 2y agoWell, I am sorry that policing in your area is poor... But perhaps an actual crime in progress would elicit a different response. I have called the police twice in recent years, once for a road traffic accident in my street and once for road rage and they showed up in under 5 minutes (UK). It's not possible to generalise, but I suspect that a report of an assault in progress should get a quick response (maybe don't mention the water guns too much ;) )
