This sounds like the NYPD working like the Mafia, no work and no show jobs, taking jobs that they know they're not gonna do or investigate. They're stealing from the city to make their officers and departments richer.
You get your car stolen, or robbed and you can't find a cop to even pretend they give a shit. But they're happy to take $150 million off our ass.
You're dead on. NYPD is entirely useless. I've had to call them before due to violent fights outside my door, they called back 3 hours later asking if the fight was still happening.
bruh they think it like a DBZ fight or something 💀
"Yeah officer they're still there and they've been monologing for two episodes, come now, they're distracted."
"Come quickly before he remembers the good memories he made with his friends and get a power up!"
Brooooo, super off topic but seeing you name and profile pic got me fired up, I love ocelots.
Yeah. Not just NY, either. About a decade back where I live we called the cops about a curb-stomping we witnessed living across the street from the local bar. We had our radio on. Here was the timeline.
The end. We identified ourselves in our report, the officer declined to visit and question us. There were at least 5 eyewitnesses, and we live in a town that they'd probably talk... but nope.
Isn't it absolutely asinine that new york voters literally elected a fuckin cop from the NYPD, which is well-known as being one of the most corrupt and racist police departments in the nation?
I honestly couldn't believe it even after all the 2020 protests against American law enforcement.
