Sounds like you live in a crappy big city like SF, Oakland, Santa Clara, etc.
For the vast majority of people who live in reasonable cities, calling the police for something like that will get a timely response.
- weakfish 2y agoDidn’t happen in the small North Carolina town that my parents live in, with a very similar situation as the parent. So truly, YMMV. Not all places can be generalized.
- saagarjha 2y agoSanta Clara, population 110,000, is a big city to you?
- bagels 2y agoPlease tell us the magical place you live in that has friendly, helpful police with time to investigate every crime.
- Alupis 2y agoSuburbs. We get 84 squad cars showing up for noise complaints... Many larger cities don't have the budget to provide adequate police coverage. So you get this sort of "best effort" response. This is made worse with recent years of "defund the police" policies creeping into some of our larger cities. It just reinforces the Pro 2A community's saying - when seconds matter, help is just minutes away.
