I've had them take four or five hours to respond to calls about people in the process of shooting and smoking heroin directly in front of my house in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday. Other times I've called and been told that they were only responding to life threatening emergencies because the city was on "tactical alert" due to a single car chase that was all the way down in Long Beach. The terrifying reality is that we live in a city with essentially no reliable police protection. The LAFD, on the other hand, kicks ass.

But then they would've just lectured you and left the music alone, so nevermind.
