They are not staffed sufficiently to stop every crime from happening and this isn't "Minority Report". The police may happen to prevent a crime if they get lucky and are in the exact right place at the exact right time. But their primary job is to investigate crimes that have already happened and lock up the criminals so they don't commit other crimes. It is our job as adults to protect ourselves and our families.
I don't do LEO's job and I don't expect them to do mine.
I carry a gun because crimes don't happen while a cop is standing there.
