In my case, DWI taskforce cops were running their ticket racket up the street (4 squad cars at least) while I was getting mugged at gun point.
Even yelling for police afterwards (when the attackers drove off) didn’t turn their heads.
The first cop I approached got the hell out of there in the opposite direction without ever taking down my statement.
The next one took my report, gave me a case number, and never followed up.
The DWI taskforce (that was there every weekend for months before that) was gone the following night/months.
My event never appeared in any of the online maps of reported crime in my neighborhood.
I contacted the business who’s parking lot I was robbed in, but they denied there was any security camera footage.

You’re lucky they didn’t give you a sobriety or breathalizer test. Cops never follow up. Never. Not even when you point them directly to the perpetrator(s).
I believe your story completely —cops suddenly don’t like citizens and they try to do as little as possible unless it involves asset seizure or collection of fines.
