      Is your dog on a leash or put in a kennel? Why are you reporting a robbery? You don’t need the police man!

        Because cops routinely get anywhere in time to stop a crime. That’s one of the biggest flaws with the ‘cops make safe’ argument. They only work as a deterrent to crime if they’re actually there right when the crime happens. The only time they show up with any expediency is when there’s money to be protected.

        Also, victim blame more.
