And yet in Los Angeles it is equally amazing that they police will spend 
8 hours to stake out a cross walk to nab jay walkers for a little revenue 
enhancement, but when you actively witness a gang banger sitting in a 3 
ton Bronco drinking a 40 oz bottle of beer and smoking crack that it is 
broadcast as a FIO (for information only, no response) in police jargon.

It is really amazing that my wife can be assaulted, get the plate of her 
attacker and the DA refused to even investigate because it is not cost 
effective.

It is really amazing that your house can be vandalized and the vandal 
when caught is allowed to file false counter charges just to force the 
case into arbitration to save the city money.

It is really amazing that local businesses have to spend thousands a year 
in permits and taxes, and the police refuse to enforce laws when people 
set-up business on the side walk in competition (and generally paying 
protection money to gangs).

It is really amazing that police can refuse to allow you a file 
complaints when people break the law if they don't want to get involved.

The police are just armed tax collectors who happen to accidentally catch 
some crooks from time to time.
