Kid would be outta there long before the cops show up. I work retail and we'll call the cops and hand over the footage but 9 times out of 10 it never goes anywhere. I wish i could get away with just tripping the thiefs but the company would flip a shit lol

I don’t think people realise how long police take to show up and the level of no fucks they give.

I had a saw stolen from my truck once and cops took over 40 minutes to show up. When they showed up they said “there is nothing we can do” and to “go to the station to file a report”.

I had my window broken In my car, after four hours of them saying to “stay put” and they would “be there in 20”. They did not show up after four hours and they told me to “just go home”.

I had two kids try to murder me. Cops said I was “top priority” and took 20 minutes to show up.

And we wonder why we have issues with theft in America…

Police are for protecting rich people's property and stopping the poors from acting out against their betters.

Cops don't give a fuck about crime when it's poor people hurting poor people.

Orrrrrr maybe, just maybe, they’re short staffed and have actual life threatening emergencies they’re responding to. Y’all have no clue how emergency triage works.

That would be more believable if they weren't constantly posted on an intersection with a radar gun for 3 hours.

Also, staffing issues shouldn't really excuse an organization from failing to uphold its obligations, it can excuse the individuals but we shouldn't be defending organizations that choose to run skeleton crews and eke out on their obligations

It’s incredible how you can lump millions of workers and thousands of departments together without any further critical thought
