Local cops are absolute trash. When my house got broken into 3x, each time I was home, local cops did nothing. My dog protected me and drove off the intruders. People were casing my house, because someone shot and killed my dog in my backyard after the 3rd unsuccessfully break in. Still local police did nothing. I’ve had good experiences with the state police troopers in my area. I work in a NYS agency and my bike is parked right outside the state capital where there are cameras all the fuck over. When my bike got stolen the NYS police reviewed the footage, found the guy, (who was already out on parole,) and sent him right back to prison because he committed another crime and violated his parole. My bike was never recovered. I was able to file a FOI request to get the perps info, and eventually get a civil judgement against him. It’s a mixed bag, but you all should be agitating like hell to get shitty cops and shitty police chiefs removed.
