Police no longer coming to burglary calls...

[vjf915]

sounds good, i can take matters into my own hands and call after i gunned down the burglar that broke into my house.

i really dont know why cops wont respond to this what if someones life is in danger and they still wont respond to a break in?

well the burglar can enter my home at his own risk.....

wonder if i can intervene if i see someone trying to steal my truck?

Did you even read the story?

I quote, "as officers focus limited resources on violent crime"

I quote again, "If you come home to find your house burglarized and you call, we're not coming"

An active burglary in progress is a "violent crime" hence, they will respond. It will free up officers from filling out paperwork so they CAN respond to the violent crimes, its not a license for every gun owner with a hard-on to start shooting willy-nilly.

I agree with this guy. The article said they would not respond to a burglary SCENE, not that they wouldnt respond to a burglary.
