Suburbs. We get 84 squad cars showing up for noise complaints...

Many larger cities don't have the budget to provide adequate police coverage. So you get this sort of "best effort" response.

This is made worse with recent years of "defund the police" policies creeping into some of our larger cities.

It just reinforces the Pro 2A community's saying - when seconds matter, help is just minutes away.

I live in "Suburbs" I have never seen 84 police cars respond to anything, even school shootings.
Maybe try living in actual suburbs, not "Suburbs"?
