I was actually put on hold for 10 minutes, before actually being asked "police, fire or ambulance" and it would be another roughly 3 hours to see a police officer walk through my door.

Yes, great freedom and ability to be able to stop bad people when we can't even defend ourselves and have to wait for fuckheads to o their alleged jobs. It's pathetic. We're made into cowards, begging for someone to defend us, making us incompetent and disallowed from defending ourselves. It's a fucking joke that we have to beg for people to come save us and can't be allowed to do it ourselves.
