And what, with so many danger averse cops in the field today who's primary objective is avoiding potentially risky encounters...
Last summer, I was riding the bus and a group of blacks started verbally assaulting the white driver because they felt he was "disrespectful" to one of them.
They physically threatened him in various ways and they got off the bus JUST as the police arrived.
Me and the bus driver were explaining what happened and POINTING to the guys that were walking away and the police just stared at us and wouldn't even LOOK at the guys we were pointing to. It was as if they just wanted to keep us talking long enough so that the punks got away and they wouldn't have to confront them.
I didn't want or expect the police to arrest them but I at least wanted the police to engage them so these guys knew that people were watching and that people would report them and stand up to them.
The police did nothing and I felt truly helpless.
I now understand that the police will do nothing to protect me.
