You’ve never gone to the cops with a problem before, have you?
"Thanks. We'll send extra patrols. Sorry that happened. Have a good day!"
"Look, what do you expect us to do about it? We're really busy and your complaint isn't going to boost our revenue at all."
If you’re lucky. If you’re not, you get Jeffery Dahmer’d.
About12 hours ago as I'm posting this I was driving home from work with my parents a few minutes behind me, were gonna do Xmas this weekend. It's raining hard.
Someone with no lights on is barreling down my lane, I almost don't see him in time to swerve and honk. As I do so he very clearly swerves out and then back in (like he's trying to PIT me) and then returns to my lane once he misses me
I immediately dial 911 and after being on hold for 6 minutes all they said was "well get someone to that intersection"
Like, did you not fucking hear me? The guys doing 70, he's not at this intersection anymore!
"Well tell patrol, good night"
Parents confirmed he was still trying to kill people as he went down the road
You're right, the solution was murder
Sadly yes, when the law fails. See Jeffery Dahmer for when someone in need tried to rely on the police for help.
Recently a domestic abuse victim was shot by the cops. Maybe the person you're replying to is just suggesting this victim just fucking dies instead?
They didn't try that before calling the cops!
