There is seldom someone who will call the police or wait to see who car been broke in.

I disagree that if a police officer is called and sent to check on a human being then he/she should go.

I have first hand experience that reporting a thief is useless unless you shoot them. I bet the police will come then!

If I see some one breaking in a car or home I will call the police and point them out if I can.

Lets not forget the a Police gets paid to help protect people because they made a vow.

Make God bless our laws because we need protection more now than we use too.
