Tell that to Rochester, NH.
The cops let a wifebeater go scott free while kicking his hysterical wife out of the house, even when she told them eh did drugs and was a dealer (he was.. they both did drugs, and she was hysterical from the need for crack, but also because eh choked her) I would hear their fights all the time, and the cops'd do deals with him, and the other dealer on my street who was there before that. They never even were hush hush about their business, even Dx
In a town of only around 30kish, somehow it'd take the cops well over like.. an hour to get to anything nonlife threatening i f not more and still even up to a half hour if it's life threatening and I lived like... 4 blocks, maybe 5, from the station, too.

*ETA* This guy has been in jail for many years in the past, and has a warrant out for his arrest and they didn't even CHECK.
