At least that’s how it is in blue states and cities.

I see you have never lived in a blue area with a Sheriff that refused to enforce things they don't like. I lived through a COVID denying Sheriff getting so many cops killed from COVID that they had to shut down the local jail because too many cops and inmates were dying because bad ventilation and general refusal of the cops to take any type of masking or social distancing seriously.

I mean, nationwide, COVID became the number one killer of cops during the pandemic.

I mean fuck, right now in most major cities in Washington (Seattle/Tacoma) you have had cops admitting that they were refusing to respond to calls as a political act. Literally trying to make people afraid by not showing up.

But sure, you can totally rely on the cops in these situations to show up and help. Especially in a reasonable amount of time. /s
