10 cars were broken into and 5 people were robbed while the police attended this matter. What a great deployment!

Seems like a good place to remind people that the police do not prevent break-ins, robberies, or muggings. They just show up after-the-fact and do little to nothing to get people's stuff back.

The only thing you can count on a cop doing after a robbery is trying to convince the victim there's no point in filing a report.

Because they know they won't solve it, and if there's no report there officially isn't a case to count against them as unsolved.

There’s also the off chance they arrest you or shoot your dog

The dog shooting is mainly an ATF thing no?
