Of the 3 times I've called 911:
-
A guy ripped a mailbox off of the house, smashed the front window and was actively entering while the homeowner hit him with a golf club. 911 was called, it took 3 hours to get a response. Some neighbors heard and had gotten the guy out of the house hours ago and he ran away.
-
A guy drove up on the sidewalk and tried to run my SO and I down (after I flipped him off because he almost hit us when he blew threw a stop sign), when a tree stopped him he got out and tried to fight us, then followed us home and was beating on our door for 30 minutes. The cop took 2 hours to get there after the initial call, I gave him the tag number and the cop gave me his name and address and told me to "I'm giving this to you so you can file a restraining order, or go handle it yourself".
-
My neighbor, a felon, was buying a handgun on his stoop (from a guy who broke into my shed and stole some bikes/tools a few weeks prior, also never caught). Outside in plain daylight, handing cash, working the slide, loading magazines, etc. Cops never showed.
All but the first one was were between ~9-10am.
I would imagine triaging 911 calls is standard across the nation, why do you think the highest funded department per capita is so much worse than other cities?

Sorry you've had a bad experience, but it's not the usual. Without a date, time, and location I can't tell you what was going on. Maybe there were other pressing issues. Or it may have something to do with us being the 2nd highest per capita in murders and having a massive staffing shortage while patrol gets raided for consent decree units and politician's pet projects.
