Cops ignored or didn't follow through on calls to the house in Cleveland

[Occulus]

22. And now we know the truth: these girls- women- could have been rescued, repeatedly.

The police didn't listen. They didn't do their jobs. They didn't care to do their jobs. They were lazy, incompetent, and useless.

This goes well beyond embarrassment for the department. This is an extremely severe, inexcusable, and dangerously negligent, callous disregard for human life and public safety. There ought to be an external, independent investigation of every last call, who received it, when, who made the calls, how often, etc., and etc., and every last police officer on the force involved who failed these women should not only be terminated immediately, but should also be facing charges as accessories. Their failure here was criminal and there is no possible excuse.

There are officers on that police force who now belong in jail for a very, very long time. Were I living in that city, I would never, ever again trust any police officer on that force, and I definitely would never call them for any reason. I'd just handle it myself, take my chances with a jury afterward, and hold up their behavior in this case as an affirmative defense against any and all charges for how I handled it. This breach of trust should make every jury in every case upon which this department's testimony would ordinarily result in a conviction throw out all their testimony as tainted. I hope their force suffers the aftereffects of this abortion of justice for at least a generation. It will take at least that long to restore the lost trust.

THIS is a good reason, a sound reason, to never ever trust police. They are not there to keep you safe; they are only there to clean up after the damage is done.

FUCK the police. Useless pig thugs, the lot of them.
