I 100% agree with pickled_heretic, it's pretty sad.
and in most cases, they can't even do anything to prevent what's obviously coming. because well the theft, rape, murder hasn't happened yet and there is nothing they can do about it by law.
Like, even if you report someone is in your home and is trying to rape you... when they get there, the best they can do is knock on the door and hope you answer (while you are being rapped).
Also, LEOs are people too and they rather show up after the gun fight then before. cleaning up a few dead bodies and filling up paper work is much more interesting then getting shot at. Most of the time, they do it on purpose and take their sweet time to get on a crime scene, or where an incident was reported as "happening". they want to make sure it's all done before they show up, that way they are safe and can go home to their wife and children when they are done their shift.
note: I live in Quebec Canada, cops here don't have the right to do fuck all. it's paradise for criminals. But then again crime isn't as bad as in other places, cuz people are pussies around here. I know law is different in the states and I do hope cops have more rights then here.
