I moved here from Brooklyn a year ago to pursue a masters degree and have definitely seen my share of lunatics from time to time. For some reason i thought I’d be protected if something were to happen. Last week, a man was wrongfully let in to the building and was breaking down my neighbors door and she screamed on the top of her lungs for the person to stop. My whole apt was shaking because i’m next door. I called the Springfield police 2 times and they said theyre on their way. Nope. Never came. I stayed awake until 4am on the lookout to see if i could see a face, clutching a bottle of gin ready to do some blunt force damage. What is puzzling is that he was breaking down the door and then presumably got in and then: silence. No confrontation of any kind which leads me to believe the worst. The next day, I called the police dept and they were closed because, duh, its a saturday! Nothing ever happens on saturday when crazies get drunk at all hours of the day! I called 911 and they said«yesterdays emergency is no longer todays emergency.» It sure as hell IS when NOONE responded yesterday! I called the district attorney who’s voicemail was full. I called the mayor at the city council and left a message. I hate springfield. Cannot wait to leave this god damn hell hole where no one is safe and cops are liars. This would never happen in Brooklyn. I’m in the forensic field and do respect the police profession but its gotta be said: There is nothing respectable about your precinct, you were cowards who left a woman possibly VERY hurt, and me to fend for myself all night after false promises of showing up.
