    Cops don’t prevent or stop crime and are not legally required to.

    Through an excellent decades-long PR campaign people think cops do a lot of things they have never done, and are absolutely not required to do.

    Basically the only thing cops must do is file a report when a crime is reported. And if you’ve ever reported a crime you already know that is all they will do.

      If cops aren’t required to stop crimes then teachers aren’t required to educate, medics aren’t requires to save lives, firefighters aren’t required to put out fires, everyone who has a job aren’t required to do what they were paid to do, they can just check in and jerk off from 9 to 5 and no one can do anything about it.

        This isn’t some syllogism.

        There is a court ruling that cops are not required to stop crimes. And it seems highly unlikely you have not heard that before.
