If the police went on strike and stopped “protecting” people, the public would not notice a measurable difference in how well “protected” they are IMO. Remember this, when seconds count, the polce are minutes away.
Yes the police do a credible job of IDing and catching criminals; drawing chalk lines around the victims; and handing out traffic tickets but when it comes to actually protecting someone from a crime, except by having apprehended and incarcerated a serial scum bag, their marks are not so high.
Your points are spot on. In fact most police officers will say the same. That being, it’s not their responsibility to prevent crime. It’s their responsibility to apprehend criminals.

#1 They are “Revenue Enhancement Agents” that is their first priority ... (Wear that Seat-belt! We are here to protect you from yourself!)
#2 They will take your Statement after a Crime is committed and then look for violations that they can Fine you for and then process the paperwork.
#3 “IF” they recover your stolen property they will inventory and catalog it ... then hold it for evidence (or until the next scheduled Auction) then sell your stuff cause you didn’t have a receipt
#4 They will make sure that you do not harm the Purp
#5 They will pull you over and ask you “Where are you going?” (guess they just feel the need to give directions) because and I quote “After the Sun goes down the Cockroaches come out”
#6 They will get tons and tons of new Toys to play with while they think of new ways to enhance revenue.
#7 Shoot your Dog
I can’t wait till they go on strike ...
TT
