There’s never a cop around when you need one. Have you ever really thought about it? We usually say it when someone else is doing something that is bothering us, or most likely breaking the law. You know, like when some yeah-hoo is tailgating you and then passes and speeds off in a fury. But tell me, what’s a cop gonna do? Pull the dude over and give him a ticket? Sure, that would be gratifying, but that doesn’t do anything to change the fact that the guy is an asshole.
Police are only able to react to an action. The word police as a verb is to clean and keep clean. So at best they show up after an offense has happened and, well, do whatever it is they do. To be fair to them, I’m sure that if they were to witness a crime, they would probably do something to protect our society.
This may be the reason that people think that they can get away with a crime. But is the answer to hire more police? God, I hope not! I think the answer is to improve the standard of morality of our society, thus leaving us to police ourselves.
