Today, I saw my car being broken into on the street below my apartment. Too scared to stop them myself, I called the police. Before I could even tell them what was going on, they put me on hold. It was a good 5 minutes before I realized they'd hung up on me. FML

Really? I'm at a loss for words on this one

This is really upsetting. You could have been in a life threatening situation. A life may have been lost due to the stupidity of people we are supposed to rely on

Whoever answered your call and hung up on you risked his job

Police are generally useless. They got made fun of in highschool so they worked out, became cops and control people

This reminds me of a story where a guy I know was being assaulted on a bus. Some skin-head punks pushed him down the steps onto the curb and started kicking him. My friend called the cops and they answered: "We'll take care of it tomorrow, we have no car in at this moment." So naturally he pressed charges that were dropped because the cops didn't want to take the skin-heads in even though we knew their names. So yeah some cops and police stations are corrupt and/or doesn't give a literal shit about people's well-being.

this is why i have no respect for law enforcement.

God, the state of the 911 service is absolutely unacceptable. I remember a thing I saw where some woman called them while she was being pursued by a man who was trying to kill her. They started asking the most ******* unimportant questions at the time, like 'do you know them' and shit. They should have asked where she was and dispatched an officer immediately. She was gunned down and killed only a block or two from the police station.

Get some dogs... Then you are free to act like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons and "release the hounds..."

That's why honest law abiding citizens should have the right to carry and use it when needed like that. Less cost for taxpayers who spend on average 47000$ a year on inmates and appeals.
