It's actually robbery that he committed unless GA has some weird laws. That's IF he actually had a knife then. She's completely within her right to shoot him if he poses a threat to her with a knife. Sounds like the local crazy guy.

George Floyd is a state of mind.Let's be real, 99% of cops would rather browse deals on Amazon than pull someone over because their license plate lights aren't functional. Motor cops are another story, but those are few and far between and make up a small portion of any agency.

Where do you get your statics from?

Making up those statics is very hurtfull to sociecty because of idiots who actulay believe you.

99% of americans are fat ugly bastards who have double chins.
Its true.

I'm not even worried about these guys going to jail, I just want the cops to pick them up and drop them off somewhere else, outside city limits is good. They can walk back if they want, but for that week or so, everything would be quiet.

Siding with the criminal....eye roll.

IF he had a knife....give me a fukking break. He stabbed 2 tires on 3 of the cars in the parking lot after he didn't get what he wanted......maybe he did it with his fingers, or just sat there and held the valve stems open. I'm sure the guys from the shop that came to get the rims/flat tires to put on new ones were wondering IF he really had a knife too.

Yeah, fair. Theft vs. robbery vs. armed robbery...not sure if this would rise to the level of armed robbery.

I think a lot of people fail to understand how busy the police can get in some cities. In 2022. In a post BLM riot/Defund the police world with everyone looking to second guess, question and fukk over officers. Manpower is simply down. A lot of places just need to double their man power, immediately. But it takes years to add enough people to make a difference.


I work 12 hour shifts. On a daily basis I am dispatched to about 18-25 calls in a 12 hour period. I drive to, investigate, resolve and document approximately 2 calls per hour. If its a more in-depth investigation/report with an arrest I can get about 60-90 minutes. Thing is, I handle about 3-5 of those more in depth reports per day.



This is going to sound F'd up but lets assume I responded to your wife's call. I take about 5-10 minutes to talk to people and find out what's going on. About 10-15 minutes to conduct 'investigation'/review any surveillance video. About 10-15 minutes to complete report. And about 10-15 minutes to actually search for/attempt to ID/issue a warrant for the suspect if he's gone. After that. I never even think about that case again.


I run across your wife 2 weeks later in Walmart I probably will notice she looks familiar but its really just hit or miss on if I remember what call I encountered her on. 6 months later I run across your wife in Walmart and we have a conversation and I don't even recognize her. She can ask me for an update on the 'investigation' and I'm not even sure WTF she's talking about without looking up a case number and reading the report.

Eh I sell insurance and had a couple call us years ago (before 2020 police drama)...among other things they had credit cards stolen. The thieves were dumb enough to have sht shipped to their own house, when they gave all those details to police they didn't do jack sht. Same deal as OP, police knew who they were.

The only thing police give a fuk about are drugs (cause they steal them and sell it themselves) and drunk driving (because they make chit tons of money from this as well). They don't take anything else seriously

Im kind of looking forward to this stage in the societal decay.

The payback stage.

Well I made it up obviously. I'm also LEO and that's genuinely been my experience that 99% of cops don't write traffic citations except in special circumstances like expired reg 6+ months over, drivers a douchebag, or flagrant red light violations.

Spot on about your American observation though

lol

Dude are you retarded? Siding with the criminal? I fuking DESPISE criminals and chased them, fought them and shot them for 15 years in Memphis. You definitely have me wrong here.

How many robbery reports have you taken? How many times have you heard people say, he had a weapon and when you ask them to describe and they can't. This matters in court and a defense attorney will tear them apart. He had a knife out outside, but did he have it out inside? He had something in his hand and he cut our tires outside so it MUST have been a knife. Guess what Johnny Cochran, that won't work in court most of the time and it's all about building a good case from the start. He very well could have had a knife, but I wasn't there, I don't know. Sometimes people don't remember everything accurately in the heat of the moment with adrenaline.

The fact that they didn't give him anything is going to get him off the robbery if he has a good lawyer. Robbery requires fear most of the time, but GA could have it worded differently. Hard to argue fear when you gave him nothing and he had a knife. If the prosecution can't establish fear he may just get a theft and vandalism. Just food for thought in the future.

Mustache checks out lol

when i lived up north cops were EVERYWHERE and would pull you over and ticket you for everything. Multiple speed traps any time I got on the highway.
Moved to the south and i may see 1 or 2 cruisers a day on the roads. Zero issues

Might just be a geographical thing. Most of my friends from LA county all the way to SD county have the same view as me: pull someone over to see what's inside the car, and get rid of them if it's nothing interesting so you can move onto the next one.

Unless you're in the nicest networks in the world, corruption is part of any business you want.

No, you come off just like that, maybe even more.

Fact is, cops have been in a tip-toe type of state since 2020 and they just don't care to deal w/ a lot of stuff, especially in cities and states that are run by Liberals.

Portland cops basically don't respond anymore to a lot of calls because they don't care to deal w/ POC, their BS and losing their jobs/going to prison for it.

I bet you're the first to call the cops when anything goes wrong, but still talk crap about them.

Yea the cops for the most part don't give a **** anymore. I live in IL near Chicago. Those guys are fukked so I can't blame them. However, in the suburbs by me, they spend more time on speed traps and giving people tickets than actually protecting or focusing on crime. That's why my area has so many gang bangers coming from chicago and stealing cars at gunpoint because nothing ever happens. This is also after we added 5 news cops from chicago police leaving their department.

So ofcourse they aren't there to help you in those situations. That's why you need to realize you have to take the situations into your own hands. Just do it the correct way. Cops don't give a fuk about you. They only care about their pensions and their families. You're just paperwork and a headache to them.

Yep.

I started in 2002 and EVEN THEN my white friends and I knew we didn't want to get into a questionable shooting of a black person. Now everyone acts like white officers are going around killing black fold b/c they're black. It's all bullshyt.

When we heard a fellow white officer got into a shooting we'd ask, was the suspect black or white. White, oh, ok he's good no matter what. Black, oh shyt what happened exactly. We knew this 10 years BEFORE this current shyt started.

What's really changed is the public's attitude toward police b/c of blm and msm. People are more apt to fight and resist now bc they've painted the white police officer as 'always wrong' and they feel justified. Hence more fighting, more killings. blm has made everything worse for everyone, but they're all too stupid to realize it.

How could you possibly know how many officers are on the streets and what they're doing? In Memphis we had overtime details for that, so the 'speed traps' didn't take anyone away from fighting real crime. And that was federal grant money, so IL would have had the same. Not to mention there are different units for different crime types.

And, if you want to know the truth about speed traps and tickets, 90% of the time they are started due to citizen complaints. The 2 biggest complaints from citizens are about hoes and speeders, neither any of us wanted to fuk with. But you have to think about the kind of person who makes these complaints, they're all Karens.

Slower response times allow cops to rightfully shift the burden of the crime consequences onto the victims instead of them. Most likely the violence and escalation had peaked by then.

This is why qualified immunity was needed, when officers inevitably make mistakes on the job like everyone else, but now that the district attorneys are more interested in persecuting cops than criminals why give them more ammo to fuel.

This is the resulting consequences of shifting the burden of crime back to the victims and I don't blame officers at all for it.
