That's correct. In Livonia, MI, a wealthy suburb of Detroit, two armed thugs broke into a jewler's home and killed him, his visiting mother, and his three children, after he unloaded his safe of pounds of diamonds and gold. The police couldn't be there to protect the family. They could only be there to write the report and track down the scum who did it.

For any crime more serious than speeding, cops are crime reporters, not crime fighters.

If a community has the will, the criminal justice system can perform a service by taking criminals off the street.

Unfortunately, that doesn't do their victims any good. If we make it until morning, it will be because most people don't commit crimes and for those who do, there is Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson.
