          No, they dont seem to even show up to crimes that are actively being committed.

                Being filthy rich or having the police show up?

              Where I live, if no one is injured or anything, car break ins, car thefts, stuff like that - police just tell you to fill out an online form and you’ll get your police report in a few days. They will not show up.

                Honestly, for non violent stuff that’s already done, that’s a pretty good system. Having the police show up at that point is just a security blanket.

            One of them has been taking shots at becoming PM a couple times, and couldn’t even get that done. He’s now resorted to starting (culture) wars instead.

      thank you i was looking for this.

      the many hours of training do make a difference in quality of work. i feel like german and american policeforce are barely compareable
