Reply to comment by Sarcofaygo in Bricks With Homophobic Anti-Leftist Messages Shatter Red Ink’s Windows by Alphabet_Mafia_69

Do you think the police would dedicate any time to a broken window investigation with no camera footage? Even with a fairly good image of the person they would do next to nothing.

Unless you need a police report to file an insurance claim why would you call them in this scenario?

They can't do anything if they aren't contacted

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take

Or you can have it your way and make no effort to apprehend the individuals who did this, who are potentially neo nazis

They don't do anything regardless of if they are contacted. You like doing tasks for no reason at all? Contact the police and waste your time for them to do nothing?

If you think they would open an investigation into what is considered petty vandalism you've really got a fantasy view of the police.

The homophobic note attached to the brick puts it into hate crime territory, not just petty vandalism.

Well considering it was written on the brick and then attempted to be scrubbed off it's unlikely the hate crime would stick - hence them mentioning in the article it was most likely scrubbed off to avoid hate crime charges (which is a surprisingly amount of foresight for neo nazis honestly).

And the cops were contacted, but shockingly they haven't made any arrests. Even though members of the (presumed) same group have made appearances throughout the city since then.

So you are saying the best course of action is to... not attempt to investigate this vandalism to find out who did it, ergo meaning they can do it again. 🤔

You keep saying nothing can be done but if you don't even make an attempt the success rate drops to zero

They will not investigate the vandalism. They will take the report and nothing will come of it. It's an insurance claim.

Do you also think the police investigate every instance of graffiti?

Except if you read the article you would see that it is not being investigated as such.

Good job reading past the headline and making assumptions though!

The only legitimate reason to not contact the police is if they're criminals also.
