It is literally their fucking JOB and WE pay them for it.

It actually isn’t their job, and we don’t pay them for that. Their job is to enforce laws and arrest and cite, and money is taken from us to pay them. I didn’t choose to hire the individuals, I don’t get to fire the bad ones, I don’t get to choose what they do.

I hate to break it to you, but the courts have ruled it's not the police's job to protect you. They have zero obligation to, even if they see someone trying to stab you to death

So why should we praise them again? Seems like they are pretty worthless.

How do you propose they stop something like this. There isn't a cop assigned to follow around every single person 24/7. The cops caught the two guys that did it, seems to be working as intended.

Maybe the motherfuckers shooting each other can stop shooting each other?

Hmmm, maybe we could try any number of solutions that the rest of the civilized world has used to curb gun violence?

We pay our politicians too but it's kinda expected that they don't really care about us. What's the difference?
