> Police are supposed to protect and serve.

I mean I guess. But it's not a motto of the police. It just happened to be the motto of Los Angeles. Since that's where they film most TV shows and movies, the motto made it into a lot of media.

Fall River's motto is "we'll try" which seems appropriate for most police.

"We might show up"

"It's a civil matter"

"We need more (and bigger) guns"

“It’s a civil matter” is the one. Should just put that on the cruisers at this point.

Most don't put in that much effort.

If you say "yea, we'll try" in the most sarcastic voice possible it seems to fit with most of my interactions with police.

Are you offering? I have had a lot of people say that, but it never actually happens.

This is the most irresponsible comment on Reddit. When you calm 911 are you going to say that? Most jobs don’t ask you to leave you “life” at the door. Stop being closed minded. FR has been a shot hole since the 1970s. If it’s the cops fault then your the a-hole for not leaving

Am I going to quiz the police on trivia when I call 911? Should I? Is that some sort of police code to get them to show up faster?

"Hello, 911".

"How many navy ships have been named Enterprise ?"

"Be right there sir".
