I'm shocked
Police are not primarily crime fighters, according to the data | Reuters
> A new report adds to a growing line of research showing that police departments don’t solve serious or violent crimes with any regularity, and in fact, spend very little time on crime control, in contrast to popular narratives.
@BigAngBlack *eyes the BART train police (seriously) who do nothing but cause delays "due to police activity" and shut down stations whenever they feel like, multiple times a day*
yep
that tracks
@BigAngBlack there are also cops in the fucking LIBRARIES...
not just there to check out books or something, no, /stationed at the front door/
WTF
there's a reason we never go to the library here.
@BigAngBlack some have "private security" instead of literal police, but that's not really much better
and the grocery store (technically a Target, an Everything Store) has blatantly militarized ""security"" with guns, in blatant military-green uniforms, they're not even being subtle about it.
