Comment on 'I told police who my burglar was - but they did nothing'

From the title, I was expecting it to be "she said it was a specific person, and that was all," but no - there's evidence that the police first failed to collect, then failed to acknowledge after some was handed to them, and generally failed to do anything at all.

Police are just high-school dropouts living on welfare under the guise of “doing a job” because they drive or walk around all day. I guess that’s “earning a living”?
ACAB.

Thankfully you’re not making a naive over generalization here, thinking that all police officers world wide are the same, have the same training, culture and standards. That would be a stupid to do.
It would show that (assuming you’re from the US) you have no idea that there are other countries out there with other standards, different methods, culture, rules, education, etc, and I guess you wouldn’t want to be THAT person, now would you?
There are counties, for example, where becoming a police officer requires higher education just to start, then it requires 4 years of training before you can call yourself a police officer. Want to get higher up, become an inspector or anything like that, would require an additional nlyears of training.
Just saying, that doesn’t exactly sound like “highschool dropout” to me, but I could be wrong of course.
Nothing what I’m saying is trying to defend this particular police force or these police officers in the article, not does it excuse US police insanity, or police brutality in general, before you try to go there.
This is just me trying to tell you that you need some nuance and reality in your life because as bad as those bastards are, you are on the opposite side of the horse shoe, and you’re not helping with dumbass comments like ACAB, as nice as it rolls off the tongue.

Well I suppose I’ve assumed “ACAB” is effectively interpreted as “American Cops are Bastards”. Obviously other countries do it far better, but it’s our reality over here. I’m sure there are numerous good apples here too, but they’re a consolidated force so it seems fair to judge them by the behaviours they show us as a group, generally.

I’m certain the police in this story didn’t go to high-school
