When life-or-death is seconds to chose, the police are just minutes away!
Inner city police only enforce the law and protect each other. If during the course of those duties you are saved that is the only way it will happen. They protect the guilty by mandate from the courts, and they do not in any way feel a duty or fulfil a duty to protect anyone.
To "protect and to serve" refers to protecting and serving other police.
I have witnessed this first hand over the course of a lifetime and heard it said from a watch commander to a community watch group
DO NOT EVER EXPECT INNER CITY POLICE TO COME AND SAVE YOU, you will most likely become their victim as well. I do not hate cops, in fact I like them , but this is just my experience
A rule to stay alive by...
I carry a gun...because a cop is too heavy.
