Our car got stolen from out driveway in Waterdown. When we called the police they said:

Why are you calling us, call your insurance company

The neighbour's CRV was stolen 24hrs later. Police don't prevent crime they only punish those that police suspect of being a criminal (or people they just don't like). Cut their funding and put it into education, healthcare or transit.

I work on a construction site. We have cameras everywhere. One night a bunch of guys came with a company truck and started loading up copper pipes and going through job boxes looking for tools. The police were called and they said they weren't going to come out because the guys might have weapons.

Police are not heroes, they are thugs to keep the proles in place.
