Oh now I get it, woosh. I thought it was implying they actually show up to stop things on the first read.
But also not really, they mostly collect reports for insurance RE: car crashes and theft as I noted, but that doesn't make as good of a news bulletin, so they don't report the endless amounts of that instead focusing on the bleeding leading and outrage bait.
But nice snarky comment, sure showed me! That'll show me for saying the police are ineffective at best by nature and sometimes the criminals themselves while being realistic, I meant to say every cop has a quota for how many black people to shoot before they can clock out for the day, that better?
Edit: Hold the fuck up, .nl? Your cops are supposedly fine wtf you talkin about? Are you misappropriating American problems for clout?! You doing ok bud?
My country in South America doesn't have an instance. Anyone can join this instance, not just the Dutch...
Oof alright fair, there's a pretty good chance yours are worse than ours down there!
