Why are people so down on the police?

what is wrong with mistrusting them even when they are assisting you? just because they are there it doesn't mean they are actually doing anything that will be beneficial (i.e., will they actually be chasing your bike theft up, getting witnesses, filling out all the right documents that are necessary for something to actually happen)

as for the second point, please, blow it out your ass until you have some actual
facts...

I tried blowing my point outta my ass but it didn't work. Apologies...
