Is writing tickets the ONLY thing cops care about? Options

Seriously, why can't they do their fucking job? Not to get in to too many details, and only one of my complaints directly involves me, but every time someone calls the cops to let them know of wrongdoing, they don't do anything. Every time someone's car gets vandalized and they have absolute proof as to who did it, they don't do anything. Every time they find new evidence in a case and they're supposed to notify the victim, they don't do anything.

I understand there is probably an understaffing issue with law enforcement, but it seems all they give a shit about is meeting their monthly quota and nothing else.

I thought it was a rant about cops in general. I got breathalized and blew a 0.000, twice on friday night.

It is a general rant.

One example which happened a few years ago is when my mom found a plastic bag full of heroin needles, syringes, and burnt spoons in the parking lot of her office. She didn't know what they until I told her and she flipped out and called the cops. Finding a bag full of drug contraband which could have AIDS infected needles seems like a pretty big deal, no? It took the police about three hours to show up, and when they did all they did was tell her to get some gloves and throw them in the dumpster. Then they left.

Or an example that a lot of you probably know about, when those ghetto hoodrats were running around Raider's Pass several years ago selling drugs, vandalizing cars, and sexually assaulting girls. They lived at a house on 2nd (I think) where their parents were running a meth ring. The cops knew all about it (I know this for a fact) and flat out refused to do anything.

the police are under strict orders from the FBI in lubbock, have been for over 10 years. alot of drug trafficking comes through lubbock and head to other places in the usa. they have a "tag and release" policy. they let the drugs travel and their watching them, they uncover the new buyers, etc, and nail everyone involved. it's slow, i think it's ineffective, but they do it anyway. FBI is more worried about making a name for themselves in a "big bust" than actual crime prevention by shutting down the life-lines of drugs they monitor
