The police were obviously too busy busting into wrong houses and killing dogs in their never ending quest for weed.
Nobody should have a gun or try to defend themselves. The best thing to do is to call the police and wait. sarcasm off
Fire and jail them all, including the 911 operators.
I will not rely on the police to protect me or my family.
The Supreme Court has ruled that the police have no duty to protect you. “You” being used in the generic form.
Care to guess when the jackboot lickers will make an appearance?
She should have KEPT calling, so the cops would've come to arrest her. At least, she might have had a chance to stay alive.
You are responsible for your own safety. Too bad this girl and her family didn't realize that before.
Call 9-1-1 and die.
Or get arrested.

Yeah, but just look at how many lives were saved by getting that pot off the street! /s
Police cannot prevent crime. They just clean up after.
Why didn’t the mom do something.
Maybe it needs an update.
Often in their $3000 cute swat outfits, armed to the teeth and looking really cool...
<”I will not rely on the police to protect me or my family.”>
You’re absolutely right NOT to trust them.
They know they have no legal requirement to protect anybody, and can’t be sued for their inactions (only their actions).
Can't. They have a very strong union.
Police today are nothing more them revenue agents.
I'd never call a cop.
The guys that break into my house, they are going to have to call the cops.
We had a situation in our family years ago when my aunt’s ex became a stalker and made her life— and my grandparents’ lives— hell, with his threats and harassment. After a couple of weeks, my two uncles came to town and took the stalker for a ride out on a lonely road. They showed him exactly where his body was going to be dumped if he did not leave their sister alone. The harassment stopped immediately.
When seconds count, police are only minutes away.
For heaven’s sake, don’t tell me that the Deland PD runs around with that “To Protect & Serve” bumper sticker on their cruisers...
