Reply to comment by ICareAboutNihilism in Update: Someone busted out my windows on Black Friday and stole our bank cards by Cursed_ChampagnePapi

Someone burglarized my neighbor with a U-Haul in broad daylight. I saw furniture and stuff being moved out but figured it was someone moving out with it being broad daylight and a U-Haul. A different neighbor has cameras and had the plate number of the U-Haul. All the cops needed to do was find out who rented the U-Haul. They did nothing. Neighbor never got any of his stuff back.

Yep. Countless stories of "I have find my device active, I can show you within 50 feet of where it is, and I know the person who has it " met with "No can do" from the police.

I really don't get it. They will blow a door off its hinges, shoot the dogs, drag kids out of their beds in the middle of the night over a suspected weed dealer, but you hand them a thief and they couldn't care less.

I do not understand it either, I hear arguments for being understaffed and overwhelmed. But even when all the leg work is done for them. Over the years I've just had to redefine what the role of a police officer is for me and it is not protector or crime fighter. They do not exist to protect the interest of common people.

Almost like they only care about getting their rocks off and keeping poor people poor.
