CHICAGO (CBS) – Starting this week, Chicago police are changing their responses to 911 calls. They’ll no longer come right away to reports of things like criminal damage to property, vehicle thefts, garage burglaries, or other crimes in which the suspect is no longer on the scene, and the victim isn’t in immediate danger.





This is really nothing new .. they don't respond to gun fire reports (let someone else deal with that crap..)

Sadly they will tout this later as crime reduction. I've explored the position of the utilitarian civilian disarmament advocates as it relates to the UK. The UK often doesn't respond to "mere" burglaries in some areas. They also will count a multiple homicide as one. This is what happens when socialism takes over policing services coupled with gun bans.
