Being a retired cop, I know most of the time they bust a gut, so to speak, to get to the scene. But there are only so many, and might not be so close, and will need to be called, as only SOME criminals are stupid enough to commit crimes in front of an officer.

Using my immunology metaphor, depending on the police to protect you is like only immunizing left handed blonde women with the O negative blood type. Why NOT everyone who is able?
