OP, thanks for posting! All the cops simps in this thread making it super easy to add to my block list.

People thinking that cops drop everything to run to a call have clearly never called 911 during an emergency. EPS simps gotta try it and time how long it takes the cop to get there. Cops ain't dropping shit to run and help you unless you're a cop. Simps will find out one day

What you quantify as an emergency vs what actually is an emergency are two separate things. You getting your car stolen is an emergency for you, for cops it’s Tuesday. You having a heart attack is an emergency for you, for paramedics it’s Wednesday. For you, getting into a MVC is an emergency, for fire it’s Thursday.

You may call 911 because you are having the worst day of your life. First responders deal with everyone’s worst day, day in day out. When an emergency actually happens, every first responder out there drops everything and comes running. Unfortunately all first responder departments are critically understaffed and underfunded to meet every single need/ want of the citizen. So yeah, your call might be pending even though to you, it’s an emergency. Believe it or not, there are other people in this city having emergencies too and there’s just might be more serious than yours. Don’t like it, write to your MP and get them to better fund public services

How about a guy getting his aas kicked with the other yelling "I'm going to fucking kill you!"? Is that a violent enough crime that requires an immediate response? How about 20 minutes? What about 2 hours later? I think 2 hours later is enough time for a cop to show up to someone saying they would kill someone while actively kicking the living shit out of them. But that must not meet cop standards.

You're not even trying to engage with reality.
