Cops where I live (Seattle) are paid well and they still do fuck-all. It's a thankless position because they've done everything they can to earn the contempt of regular people and precious little too earn our respect. There are lots of jobs where people are paid less and get assaulted more, and those people still do their jobs. Cops really have no excuse; they act the way they do simply because they're allowed to get away with it, and then they get butthurt when people have the nerve to ask for some accountability.
Hello, fellow Seattleite!
Anecdote time: Yesterday morning, someone walking their dog found the body of a dead man around 10am. Around 3am, someone from that area called police to report the sound of shots fired. The police did not respond to the call until the body was reported at 10.
I saw a post today on Reddit about someone in Seattle whose home was invaded by their neighbors. They had a bunch of property destroyed, had a gun pointed at them, and then got pistol whipped. The cops showed up and asked questions but made no move to do anything about the neighbors. Fucking useless.
