A British student was stabbed and called for help. When the police arrived, the killer told police he was assaulted. The cops handcuffed the bleeding victim. They refused to believe him. (cdn.imgchest.com)

Could it be that America’s problems are not the same as Britain’s problems? A town of 40,000 may not even have a police station, and would statistically be covered by less than 100 officers split over shifts, including administrators and specialists, and they may be 20 miles away when the call comes in.

In my largely rural county of 700,000, policing levels may be as low as 40 on some shifts, with 1/5 of officers planning to quit in the next 2 years. There are typically 2 cars with armed response officers.
