Banks have so little cash on hand anymore. Bank robberies from 1990 thru 2000 were down 75% from the prior decade according to a report I read back in 2000. I need to call my bank two business days in advance if I'm going to cash a check for $2,000 or more or I am turned away because they had not ordered enough cash for the balance of needs.

Again, why would anyone in their right mind call the police to stop a robbery in progress? In the town I grew up in, which shared it's border with urban Philly, a few of my neighbors were cops who would respond to robberies at our grocery store or bank. They'd be on duty, at home responding to the radio call. The good thing is that they finished their dinner before putting the cruiser into drive. I commend their sensibilities. Now had the calls come in as "shots fired", that's different. No need to force a call into "shots fired"

You're absolutely right. Those banks had best get that "free cash home delivery" website up and running soon. No more robberies; problem solved! No more nasty guns and people getting hurt and all that.

In fact, why arrest and prosecute robbers at all? ...or muggers? ...or home-invasion burglars? ...or car-jackers? I mean, they all just try to get away, then they hurt people and stuff. Why have police at all? All they do is stress people out and make them violent.
