The police are pretty worthless in my area. Last time I called them, the officers exact works were "what do you want me to do about it". But they have lots of time to post photos of adulterated US flags and requests for donations for their Humvee restoration on their facebook page.
A few years ago, I was out at a night club in town on NYE and a fight broke out on the other side of the place. After a moment, gunfire breaks out, and everyone scatters. I was standing near the emergency exit and was shoved out the door by a mob of people. This place was a shithole and there was a cop actually parked on the sidewalk already since it was NYE and this place has a reputation for shenanigans. Two officers were in the SUV with the windows up. I tried to get their attention and the driver just looked at me and wouldn't even roll his window down when I made the "crank your window down" motion to him. I had to scream "someone is shooting a gun in there" until they finally got the hint as to why there were a couple hundred people running out of the place, and the officers finally jumped out. This crap of the police treating every citizen like they are a scumbag until proven otherwise needs to stop. Turns out, the owner of the club thought it would be a great idea to fire a couple rounds into the ceiling (there were apartments upstairs!) to try and calm the fight down. Regular genius, he was.
