Gloria Choi and her friends called Lakewood, Washington, 911 four times in 48 hours to report her being stalked by an ex-boyfriend. Two days later, he ran her off the road and riddled her truck with bullets as she was on the line with a 911 dispatcher.
However, if you tell the police that someone is loitering outside a shop and you think they look suspicious they will rush to the scene.
Police are not there to protect the public, they are intended to protect property.
Pro tip: say they are black and you’ll get faster service!! 😳
