Police don't prevent crimes, they investigate them


Another tough lesson from D.C.: gun bans, "crime cameras", and police cannot prevent crime. Fox 5 reports:

Two men were shot in broad daylight Sunday afternoon in DC's Shaw neighborhood along busy 7th and O Streets in Northwest DC.

One man was shot in the chest but is expected to survive. The other was grazed by a bullet in the hand.

A DC Police Officer was less than a block away from the attack and another, off-duty officer happened to be close by.

There is a crime camera positioned close by and police hope that its pictures will help them catch the shooters. Police are on the lookout for a white car seen driving away from the scene.

Generally speaking, Northwest D.C. is considered the safest area of the city. Even so, crime is so bad in the Shaw neighborhood police were ordered months ago to patrol the area 24/7.

Crime cameras help investigate crimes if and only if there aren't short skirts or low tops in the area.

Because cameras have their priorities.

I thought cops were government provided, Xtremeâ„¢ stenographers. You know, when you're too shaky, after an adrenaline dump, they come by and write down what you witnessed. Nice service.
