    That’s something I never got about cops in the US. Everywhere in Europe, there are always two cops per car, at least in the places I have been.

      It’s to create the illusion that there’s more cops than there really are. Same reason behind take home cars.

      My city of about 300k people has about 30 cops patrolling at any given time.

      Easier to terrorize minorities if you spread out.
