Take it easy on the cops. Possibly a dispatch error given the time elapse, which wouldn’t make it the officer's fault. And sometimes we get busy with things like kidnap carjackings, domestic violence, and child molest (all things which occurred on my shift last night) which burns up a lot of our time... Remember that just about every department is severely short staffed, working at or below minimums, because our city/county feels the budget would be better spent elsewhere. Trust me, I don’t like running call-to-call with little or no back up.
Don’t like it? Write your local governing body (city counsel, board of supervisors).
As for the illegals... Not that I totally disagree with you, but occupying a position and taking a position (from someone else who wants it) can be two entirely different things. If you want to pick lettuce 12 hours a day there are openings in Salinas, every day.
