Yeah no kidding. And if by some miracle you reach someone and they say they are on their way you're lucky if they get there within 3 hrs. Someone hit and run damaged a family members car parked on street. Dispatch asked was anyone injured. He said no. They said so what does he want them to do for him. Lol.

Is that actually true or are you exaggerating from an experience you heard? Have you actually waited more than a half hour for police recently?

Buddy look at my comment below. I hit a guy, and a bunch of people passing by thought he was dead. For literally 20 minutes a dude was laying on the street at 17th and Market and a bunch of passerby thought I killed him. 911 answered no one.

Cops happened to roll by, and they acted like it was a fucking nuisance.

I will believe the most outlandish anecdotal stories about the cops in this city. They are fucking awful at their jobs and a large percentage of them are lazy assholes. Many of them are even vindictive because people told them they suck at their jobs (which they do - and they should feel bad until they don't)

You call the cops in any other neighborhood and it's even worse response times. Let alone the neighborhoods you would never find yourself in.

Edit: not to mention people were calling the cops on this dude before he ran into me. He was doing it for the whole day according to the witness that stuck around for me. Absolutely insane that shit happens for an extended amount of time anywhere in the city, let alone one of its most trafficked areas.

I see. I didn’t read the full context. That is horrifically insane

he was literally arguing with the dispatcher to send an officer to file a report. she finally agreed, reluctantly, and with such attitude too

he waited a half hour, and went back into his apartment building

over 3 hrs later he got a call officer was outside ready to look at the damaged car

this was 2021
