In the last several days we’ve seen many people on social media say that they’ve called the police and have been told the response either wouldn’t happen or would take a long time.

“You don’t need a gun to protect yourself, just call the police” is curiously no longer something people are arguing. https://t.co/IVibbPtx3B
