Literally, they can watch you get murdered, watch the murderer get away, and still be 100% fine. Police protect the govt. Period. Nothing else. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Mango@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago Police is for robbing people and slapping labels on them to artificially reduce their market value. They're not gonna do anything about mass shootings because they won't be there when they happen and don't really care so long as their own friends and family are fed. They're also not going to support disarming the population because they will lose that fight by numbers. permalink fedilink source parent [+] opp@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] rchive@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (3 children) When seconds count, police are minutes away. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [+] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) And the ambulance is even further away dealing with the last wannabe clint Eastwood that acted on that dumb as fuck sentiment. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Well that's just a logistics problem.
