If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.
Bring me some too, I was just about to mention how Hollywood and Television are all in on it with shows showing how its OK That:
"The Suspect said we couldn't search his home so we made some shit up and it will all be OK."
or the "CSI investigates every crime and can prove anything."
I know its only television, but the general populous sucks that kool-aide up.
Is this thread ever going to die?
The cops don't like where you live..it's racist of them.![]()
Could it be that their attitude towards your neighborhood is a direct reflection of the attitudes of your neighborhood?
Why should they care if your neighbors don't.
One report of gun shots.. In a neighborhood? Sorry.. perhaps you should work on getting your neighborhood to actively attempt to change rather than blaming DPD for not responding. While I don't think not responding was the proper thing to do.. Guns tend to be heard.. I'm sure they don't go rushing for a 'shots fired' call in the projects of Chicago.. unless there is a report of someone bleeding.. that could change things.

It's one of the biggest problems we face. The public believes what they see on TV; the prosecution has to provide unneccesary things to a jury because they saw something on TV; the prosecution wants these things from law enforcement because of the demands of a jury; the public wants law enforcement to do things they are unable or waste money and time because they saw it on TV.
One example: A vehicle gets broken into. Owner demands DNA and fingerprinting of vehicle. Cop might or might not do, depending upon agency. Evidence is turned over to CBI for analysis. Analysis of this type is low priority so results come back in 18 months and results might or might not show anything. Might be prosecution, might not. Costs: expensive: manpower, time and equipment. Does vehicle owner pay? Nope. Agency and state does.
