“The police are only minutes away,” meaning that they aren’t going to show up in time to save your butt”
I was well aware of the meaning,the cop haters have thrown that out many times.
I just didn’t see how it fit here.

Please understand, I’m not anti-cop. But they can’t bend time and space to get to you in time if things get really bad.
They aren’t G-d. They’re only human.
If I called my husband at work to save me, he’d still take five minutes to get to me. I love him, but it’s a fact. I have to take care of myself.
That’s not anti-anybody. It’s a statement of fact.
We disarm soldiers and then marvel that they have no defense against a shooter. They’re not Bruce Lee.
