The same attitude they have when it comes to defending yourself with a gun in your own home.
Job security, even if it is filling out morgue sheet paperwork.
How the HELL are you supposed to CALL a police officer INSIDE a theater "yes, I am currently in screen number 6 at the cinemark 12" and tell them that some patrons won't let you leave.
You'll get another 911 operator who says "offline" 'I really don't care WHAT happens to you'.
Sounds like the police don't give a rat's behind about the matter. The call was made. They had to appear. Eventually (theater staff were there to detain you, but how were you to summon them to the THEATER?).
Well, I could have wished the 911 operator had blown off the kid’s call !
They are apparently never there when you need them, but really on the ball for BS calls.
