This couple is stating their perception. Perhaps the police aren't there as quickly as they like because of the increase in calls? IN any event, this statement is anecdotal.

Maybe. You have any evidence of that other than a statement that could be interpreted in other ways from one couple in one article? I realize this fits your anti-law enforcement world view, hence your advancing this possible cause, you've just done a very poor job of even attempting to support it.

The key word here is "feel". See above for why you "feel" this way.
Quote:But on the other hand I also know that many who work within the police force don't want to change anything. We see it all over the country.
You do?
Quote:So you have the police not doing their jobs, angry citizens, a pandemic, lots of variables that may cause an increase in crime. Then we have to see if the increase is temporary blip or if it is a trend that will continue.
Where do we see the police not doing their job? Except in your totally unsupported supposition that is.

Dear god, learn to read. I stated in OP why I think it's happening. I reiterated in my second post in this thread. You're either being willfully obtuse or your honestly incapable of processing the points being made. Keep trying though, it's amusing seeing you try and spin this.
