If I was a criminal this is the place I'd rob next

Then there's this piece of karma:
Police close Ohio restaurant after cop finds glass shards in sandwich - AOL

The restaurant, which is in the city's King Lincoln district and seems to go by two names (Lincoln Cafe and Zanzibar Brews), has been shut down so an assault squad can conduct interviews with staff.

Because as with all walks of life, there are some. Not all but some. I highly revere anyone who is a LEO or in the FD. They put their lives on the line. Unfortunately, those jobs also attract power-tripping people.

Suppose they have a 'slow response time' when this guy gets robbed and the bad guys get away.
Then same bad guys rob you?

Good point! I mean, look what happened to Peter Parker's Uncle Ben!!!

One running numbers or drugs in the back.

Or some loudmouth schmuck trying to act the fool.

I never said I support selective protection. Straw man argument.

That was the premise of the OP.

I wonder how long it would take the police to CLOSE a restaurant if a citizen found glass in a sandwich.

Earlier this year, I was talking to a few cops about what sort of freebie I could give them in order to make them want to come to our place more often. I get trying to make your customers happy, but then again, you have to realize that there are some customers that you just don't want.

I decided that they can have a free coffee, or a fountain drink while on duty and in uniform. I might extend that to the bake items, but they took it the wrong way the first time. What they don't realize is that it's more cost effective to me to offer them a donut than a burrito, and I'm not being pejorative about it.

Okay, maybe I misinterpreted you meaning.

I also agree that the average LEO would not delay response to anyone... pretty sure they are much too busy to worry about such things.

I'm guessing that they really do think that teriyaki is "Chinese" food then.
