Oof. I'm sorry Melbs. I know the feeling all too well. I gave up with cops after they disregarded my call when a worker at my last place was being threatened by a kid who was holding a chair over her head and threatening to kill her, plus a number of other times either I or the workers had been assaulted. They can maybe 1 in 10 times they were needed, and always 7-8 hours after it had happened

Oof. I'm sorry dude. The cops are stretched thin and it seems if you're in a certain area or 'class' you're not a priority.
