Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Cops will move heaven and earth to not prosecute the criminals they like. Especially corrupt racist-ass NYPD.
That's fucking vile.
Summarizing my other reply, but cops often literally don't have jurisdiction outside of their presinct. This is normal.
They should still be obligated to record and pass on the details of the crime, and get the citizen in contact with the correct people directly. Recording and reporting crime and inter-police communication is kinda their whole fucken job.
Cops don't wanna work anymore.
If they wanted to work they wouldn't be cops
Police in other states don't usually force the victim to relocate. They usually call someone to come in from the proper precinct.

Not just the ones they don't like. They're corrupt and lazy. They don't go after any more than they have to.
To be perfectly fair, cops often literally don't have jurisdiction outside of their "home" precinct. If they witness a crime outside of their jurisdiction they can make a citizen's arrest, or if they're in pursuit of someone who started in their jurisdiction they can chase, but they legally can't do anything otherwise.
To be perfectly fair, you're wrong.
If they came to her home, reasonably she was wanting to file a police report. Which they absolutely can do, but they refused.
Kinda sounds like yes they can. Besides, all this person tried to do was file a report. What you're seeing here is that cops don't feel like doing any part of the job that doesn't involve LARPing a 90s action film.
Cops have authority anywhere in the state, which is why they can be brought in from surrounding areas for special events, riots and other incidents, and can arrest you off-duty if they witness something illegal.
They literally don't have de-facto jurisdiction over an entire state. This is easily googlable. Additionally, I addressed doing citizen's arrest already, which is what them doing an "off duty" arrest is.
