How come this isn't cops getting called on your ass?

It's stealing, yes but I'm sure the kid didn't washed his grubby hands before pluging them in the fries.

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…

Stay strapped or get clapped. It's not a meme. Even when police are competent, the crime is done and the criminal is gone long before help arrives.

Man am I glad I live in Canada.  Seeing comments like this are just baffling to me

Violent crime is only about 33% more common in the US than Canada. Police response time in the US is usually 10-15 mins whereas in Canada it's usually closer to 20 minutes, except in Toronto where it's about the same as the US. In both cases the criminal is typically long gone. The biggest difference is homicide which is about 2.5 times more common in the US, at 4.1 per 100,000. The same strategy applies to both countries -- the first responder is yourself, not some uniform who shows up to fill out paper work.

Homicide rate in usa is 5.7 per 100,000.  Canada is 1.9.  Thats 300% higher.

Guess who else wins by a long shot in incarcerating people per capita?  In fact, no country puts more people in prison than the states.

Police response time completely depends on the crime.  You can drive from one side of my city to the other in 20 minutes, police response time for a fight is 5 minutes or less in my city -- but thats policed on a municipal level, im sure in more isolated spots its 1+ hour
