[TheList] Police response times on a Saturday night( well the list is quiet)

Tue Sep 6 11:33:27 AEST 2016

No they don't.. and the dispatchers don't care... 

I called 111 for
a male assaults female on the side of the road, spent about 20 minutes
on hold - I had angled my car to block the street, hazards on... 

While
on the phone, I saw a cop pull out of a side street about 50 - 100
meters up the road, and turn right, I was left to him.. 

He drove on..

While the assault was taking place - I guess he had a cronut or a
speeder to get.. 

Safer communities together is their motto - but don't
go out on your own to do anything about what's happening in your
community - leave that up to us. 

US - being the largest legal gang in
the country - and you know what gangs do, they protect their own, cover
up criminal activity and wear patches. 
They wonder why no one has
respect for them any more.... take a look at yourselves, why would the
public respect you - if you don't respect the public. 

It's a corrupt
department of liars, abusers of power, and a big black hole where money
is poured into, only in the name of 'traffic safety' 

I would vote for
any political party who splits the department back up to Traffic and
Policing, show the public where the money is actually being spent...

Because clearly its not being spent on policing.... OH and these guys
want to carry guns... do you trust them to do that?
