It would of been nice if some police showed up at the court.
Police absolutely not necessary for a court appearance wouldn’t be called to court. Shift changes in the interim means their appearance would be “on overtime”—most often sharply curtailed administratively.
Not necessarily. The police not even bothering to show up for a felon who get’s a life sentence makes him even less in everyone’s eyes.
Do you get it, he gets life, and the cops do not even bother wasting their time on him. It is like a gross insult. Life for a human in a cell, and the cops don’t even bother their time to go to trial. He is not important enough.
