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 .

Real question, what are they trained for that they can do well? Im looking for a genuine answer as to what the average cop in America, today, is better at than any other profession.

I’m an MFT and I would love to be dispatched to domestic disputes instead of guy with gun.

Well I'm sure that sentiment is actually really popular, but most for different reasons
