You Have NO Right to Police Protection

You have no right to expect the police to protect you from crime. The police don’t even have to come when you call. Depending solely on police emergency response means relying on the telephone as the only defensive tool. Too often, citizens in trouble dial 911 . . . and die. Americans increasingly believe, however, that all they need for protection is a telephone. Dial 911 and the police, fire, and ambulance will come straight to the rescue.

Incredible as it may seem, the courts have ruled that the police are not obligated to even respond to your calls for help, even in life threatening situations! Police do very little to prevent violent crime. They investigate crime after the fact. So why are Taxpayers like YOU still paying their wages?

Fire 75% of the police population in America, their literally good for one thing... A waste of YOUR money.

 

i totaly agree few years back my place was broken into every sigle night for a week, the guy stole everything i owned, & he even broke in once when i was there..in the shower..came running in & shoved some stuff against the door so it took almost an hour of pounding on the door just to get out..
when i called the cops, they took a couple notes & did nothing, even thoughi told them i knew hed be back the next night..and he was...i ended up just havin to take off rather then risk getting killed or something the next time hed break in..
the cops are always there when its time to harrass you, but when u really need them they fail everytime..or at least thats been my experience

i guess if i was rich though they'd be more likely to help

but if we fire the police we gotta fire the entire government too & start over from scratch

 

Can you cite your sources on this?

 

one christmas in long beach all our presents were stolen. not like we had a lotta money, but in long beach circa '82, if you were white, apparently you had a lotta money. the short patrol showed up, took a statement, and that was it. when i was 10 in garden grove, someone broke into our house and vandalized it while we were sleeping. bops showed up, took a statement, and left. that's it. one christmas i was staying with some friends of my mom's in texas, house was robbed, no one did anything then, either. it's one of the reasons i always have a gun available. i've been inside a house three times when it was broken into, and i dont want to be helpless again.

 

i would never keep a gun myself..ya pull one on a robber & your more likely to get shot
but yea ive never been helped by cops even after having abnsolutely everything i owned (except my drum which was the only thing i cared about) stolen 3 or 4 times..& even when i had skinheads stomp in my head the cops refused to help
theyre useless

 

my mother always has a good relationship with cops in order to keep them coming around and making ther presence known. it's really helped keep the problems down in her neighborhood.

 

actualy thats true, cause now i live in a much worse neighboorhood & we took over a crack corner & turned the whole block into a huge communitygarden..& now both the crack dealers & the cops are both really supportive freindly & helpful
its funny how such a traditionaly dangerouse corner now feels safe enoughto camp in for months & ive actualy left my drumthere for a week & noones touched it
now every cop around waves when they see me & most are way freindly
its amazing how quickly cops can turn from total assholes into really nice freinldly ppl if u give em a reason to

 

well, not entirely, theyre really just trained to ignore personal ethics & enforce the ethics of a currupt government
many are really pretty ethical in theyre thinking, but theyre jobs require them to enforce ethics they dont truly believe in

that doesnt make them inethical exactly when u compare it against ethics against rape & murder & other things they deal with daily, some feel they are in it for the right reasons even if it does mean occassionaly jailing innocent non violent pot smokers

 

i've had good and bad experiences with cops
last summer i was drinking with friends and we wondered into a park where we met like 30 people (gangster types from our high school) my friend lee is a punk sort of and drunk punk got lippy and started a huge fight
i booked it before anything even happened but i was totally out of my area and no idea where i was...i ended up getting lost from my friends and being chased by one guy down a side street, i hid behind a house and watched him walk right past me, fucking horrible experience...i called the cops who came and took me home
they were really nice to me and helped me out
i've had plenty of bad experiences with the cops from around here but that night certainly changed my opinion of them...

 

my uncle was chief of police in some town in illinois for a while. he knew all the potheads, he gave them free reign so long as they weren't getting into mischief. he had some on his force, i guess, but i never did know how he dealt with it. i think in certain situations there's a nudge-nudge, wink-wink attitude.

we were once pulled over by a couple cops one superbowl sunday. they pulled over us and the car behind us. i guess the one who dealt with the other car was an ex-marine rookie sort, the one who came to our car was a veteran. anyway, the rookie saw some pot sitting out in the car in plain site, drags the kids out of the car and started cuffing them. the vet who was talking to us got fucking irritated and went back to call off the rookie. he came back to let us off (which was good, because dave had a warrant) and went to take care of the kids. i figure he just confiscated it and let them go. it's what they used to do when dave was young.
