If they come, they’ll come minutes later—after the criminal has already completed his objective—and take a report.

Hope you aren’t expecting the police to provide you personal protection-—no court in the land will back up your claim that it’s their job.
May your chains rest lightly upon you.
I never made any claim about my personal protection except that the cops come, risk their lives, and you won’t come.
