I live in the upscale part of town, too, but even then, I can't get a cop
even when I need one, unless they are raising funds. I had a pair of cops
come TO MY DOOR with the "fraternal order of police"-crap. I once waited
FOUR HOURS for a stray dog call, and finally brought the dog to the local
park ranger on foot (I can't drive). My friend had his van broken into,
and
the answer from the police was "we're too busy".
Where do you live? I live in Asheville, NC.


2 events that are hardly 911 calls. Stray dog, you should have called
animal
control. If the robbers weren't there tearing the van open when you called.
it's just a cold case.

Who said we called 911?

You called someone on both cases. Your words. plus the reference 911 =
urgent. Of which neither one was a 911 call.
The van, only thing you'd do is fill out a stolen property report [at the
station].
Both cases you expected more than what the police are paid to do. And if as
you say they're stretched to breaking with a high crime area, the answers
make perfect sense.

Your misintepretation. Their website even gives a number to call in the
event of stray animals. Get over it, you misread the post.
