Until we need them
For what?
Maybe someone who is armed and breaking into your grandmother's home? Maybe crowd control for a municipal parade?
Maybe. Except they don't show up until well after an incident, so I definitely don't rely on them for my grandmothers safety.
Now a parade! Now we're talking. If I had to stand around during a municipal parade I would definitely act like I have the most dangerous job. T hank the Lord for the boys in blue being there for parades!
Okay so we just kind of let all grandma's be targets of crime because nobody will ever try to arrest you?
Yeah dude, sure. Whatever you say.
I think some cops probably have empathy.
I do agree with you on that. The profession as a whole needs to be reworked though. It's out of control.
