San Diego police non-emergency is a joke

Today I woke up to a car blocking the drive way I was in and had to goto work. Called 3 different towing companies all said need to call police since it’s public street. Then I called the non emergency hotline and cops never showed up . I guess people can get away with parking where ever on the street .

Even the emergency line is a joke. I’ve been put on hold with 911 for over 10 minutes multiple times lol

That’s what scares me, if it’s this bad on non emergency I can’t imagine 911 calls

The Fourth of July is the absolute worst day to have an emergency.

They should just set up a big "finger reattachment/amputation" stand in the hospital parking lot so people with actual problems can get seen on the fourth

Put me out there with a barrel full of super glue and I'll charge 1/20 of what the hospital would. So like $5k/case. Also I'm not in your insurance network, cash/drugs only

I cut my toe down to the bone on the 4th a few years back. Just straight up told my wife I am not going to the ER in SD on the 4th.
