https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/05/01/5-dead-in-texas-shooting-family-called-police-5-times-before-killings/70168758007/ A resident of the Texas home where a man opened fire with an AR-15-style rifle said his family called police five times over a span of more than 10 minutes before the rampage that left five people dead and set off a manhunt for the killer. More useless cops and people who shouldn't have guns having guns. Yet some people really wonder why there's a growing movement against guns and cops. --- http://i.imgur.com/BBcZDLJ.png ...

I can understand the reasoning. 3 cops for 700 square miles is rough. My city of 10 square miles, with just under 30k population, runs 3 officers at a time most shifts simply due to lack of officers on staff. And that's not enough to do the best. I cant imagine how hard it is for just 3 officers over an area the size of 700 square miles. If by choice, then that office needs better management. If that is all they had on hand not by choice, but circumstance, I can understand it better. It sucks either way, but there isnt enough listed to give a full picture. --- http://tinyurl.com/b95dwtg ... Copied to Clipboard!

St0rmFury posted... I thought it was already established that cops don't have an obligation to protect citizens. Yup. And it's a big reason we need to get rid of cops and set up different community based ways to protect people. There was a segment on Last Week Tonight on different approaches to policing with police a couple years ago. Cops continue to get in the news for killing people and refusing to do anything about actual threats that there's simply no reason for the tax payers to keep them around. --- http://i.imgur.com/BBcZDLJ.png ...

They do not have the average's person interest at heart. The idea behind defund the police is remove resources that goes towards the police and allocate them in places that actually aim to address a communities needs. Most 911 calls don't need a cop to show up with a gun and would be much better served with a person trained to just deal with people. --- http://i.imgur.com/BBcZDLJ.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Camden is a horrible example, and they definitely did not get rid of the cops. They reorganized and reformed and this was several years ago. Because it's still a complete shithole and considered one of the worst in the country.
